flora

There's nothing I hate more

Oh, Flora

Than how easy I fold

In the glow

Of your soft saucer eyes

It's impossible, I've noticed

Oh, Flora

To ignore or avoid

The tabloid whispers

Saying that we're meant to be

And I could kiss

Anyone who asks

At a party

But it won't mean half as much

As a touch on the hand

From you

There's nothing I hate more

Oh, Flora

Than the way my heart is magnetized

To the platinum of yours

It's impossible, I've noticed

Oh, Flora

To ignore or avoid the lilt in your voice

When you make fun of me

And I could hang the stars

In anyone's eyes

If I wanted to

But they won't be

Half as lucent

As a smile sent

My way

And I swore I would marry you

Oh, Flora

I knew from that unseasonably warm

September afternoon

I'm keeping my word

Oh, Flora

'Cause you said we'd destroy each other

And I'll do anything to prove

You wrong
