He Bought Me Flowers Today

He bought me flowers today, so bright,
In silence, love's soft hues conveyed.
Each petal, a note in light's gentle play.

By morning's kiss, through shadows of night,
In fields where wild dreams are gently swayed.
He bought me flowers today, so bright.

Beneath the sun's gaze, a delightful sight,
Where whispered winds and colors stayed.
Each petal, a note in light's gentle play.

In gestures small, joy takes its flight,
A garden of trust, together we've laid.
He bought me flowers today, so bright.

And in this simple act, holds tight,
A bond, in bloom's array displayed.
Each petal, a note in light's gentle play.

So let our love, in this light, ignite,
For in these blooms, our hearts paraded.
He bought me flowers today, so bright,
Each petal, a note in light's gentle play.
