I Sent You Flowers Once

I sent you flowers once…
Did you get them?
You never said…
If you did, I wonder
What went through your head?
Did you think of me?
Or credit another?
Did they make you smile?
Or were they a bother?
We don’t talk anymore…
How can that be?
I sent you flowers once…
Hoping you’d think of me.
We don’t talk anymore…
It has been a while.
I sent you flowers once…
In hopes they’d make you smile…
I sent you flowers once...
