If you had seen her grow, she would have become a flower.
Blooming in the rain.

And there are thorns upon her skin!
A skin still asking to be touched.
But if you had seen her grow, she would have blossomed in storm, in thunder and in summer rain.
Can you see her as a flower still?

Listening to the same three accords throughout a song reminded me of time passing, of the feeling of spending time with people while doing something special together. Studying for an exam, rehearsing a song, going on a trip -…
