Pink Carnations
For Carole
Whenever there would seem to be
A serious argument between you and me
Or to ease the pain of a fight
And make the ugly seem the right
I never had a love before
That I could pamper, love, adore...
I thought you understood
Those times that things weren't going good
You did
For awhile
It would always make you smile
We'd make up and forget the night before
Those times I'd bring a pink carnation to your door
You said, "No man ever loved me before."
And I could see
It wasn't that you didn't love me
They ceased to erase the pain
Those pink carnations I brought to your door
All the hours and money spent
Buying flowers to hide mistakes I never meant
If only I had spent more time
In loving you
Maybe you would now be mine.
