IF I CUT A FLOWER


If I cut a flower

A Butterfly would tremble

If I catch a butterfly

A hummingbird would turn away

If a hummingbird leaves

The air would change direction

If the air moves in the opposite way

Sound waves wouldn’t reach my receiver

My only communication would change time

From eight hours to eight days

My hearth would start beating faster

And I would run out of time

To give the love of my life

That beautiful flower I would have for him

That’s why I won’t touch the flower

That’s why I will watch the butterfly go away

That’s why the hummingbird will fly still on the same spot

And the air won’t change directions

I will stay still

I will catch another glimpse for a moment

Of what a wonderful love awaits for me every day just there

Only eight hours away.
