Flower Boy

He's young

Still older than her

His direction of life, unclear

Hers, even more

He knows little

Her, less

They are young together

She still feels behind him

Flower boy must go off soon

"Don't leave, please"

He can't part from her

She won't let go

He is terrified

She, despairing

He is a dimmer shade of blue now

Her pink, faded to grey

He discovers a new yellow

She spots it as well

"I still have time"

"You can spend with me"

He carries her in his arms

Her hair, flowing with his motion

For every Flower Boy

Needs his Flower Girl
