Sunflower

I put on my best for you
A sundress yellow to match my hair
And I would fly into your arms
If I felt it would mean anything
As quickly as my legs would carry me unless you resist me

I met you on that summer day with a sunflower in my hands
I was carrying it around like a fool
Just to remind me of someone else
Who had been gone for so long
And who were you to appear all rugged in front of me
Asking the obvious, "Why does such a tiny girl carry such a big flower?"

I put on my best for you
A blue pair of high heels to match my eyes
My sweetest smile
Hiding my brokenhearted eyes behind a sparkling pair
I didn't want you to know how hurt they had been

I met you on that summer day with a sunflower in my hands
I was carrying it around like a fool
Just to remind me of someone else
Who had been gone for so long
And who were you to appear all rugged in front of me
Asking the obvious, "Why does such a tiny girl carry such a big flower?"

Free to fly, free to run
Carefree
Free to be me
When you look at me
But still I color coordinate my world to suit you
Too suit the pursuit of your happiness
Because I want to be what you want
