As I Watch the Lavender Grow
There’s times I often wonder
About what you’re doing now
Where you are and what you’re feeling
If I could talk to you somehow
These thoughts always come to me
As I gaze out my window
So I sit back and I wonder
As I watch the lavender grow
You don’t pick up the phone anymore
And you don’t reply to my texts
It’s not your fault, and I don’t blame you
There’s little else to expect
And as I replay memories
Or scroll back through my phone
A tear comes to my eye
As I watch the lavender grow
There’s times I took for granted
The bond we shared, you and me
The love, the warmth, the kindness
The biscuits and a nice cup of tea
Or how you’d cheat at card games
Or how your smile would always glow
These are things I think of
As I watch the lavender grow
It’s hard knowing that I’ll never
Get to speak to you again
That you’ll never hear my stories
And the birthdays you won’t attend
As I count your stolen hours
I’m grateful that I know
All the joy and love we shared
As I watch the lavender grow
