Windblown (A Reason, A Rhyme) by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2024

Verse 1:
Loves me, loves me not, petals swirl,
Softly drifting in the breeze’s twirl.
No answers found as they fade away,
Love should flow, yet here I stay.

Pre-Chorus:
Tangled feelings, lost and found,
Complex hearts, once crystal clear.
Simplicity in doubt is drowned,
A dance of whispers drawing near.

Chorus:
Why does love have to come and go,
When it should deepen over time?
Like the petals drifting slow, (short pause)
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not,
Enriching, like when flowers grow,
Blossoming together, a reason, a rhyme.

Verse 2:
What once felt certain turns to haze,
Endless lines in a winding maze.
Each step a question, each breath a sigh,
The deeper we go, the harder we try.

Pre-Chorus:
Love is meant to be light, to endure,
Now it’s a riddle, a path unsure.
Searching for meaning in threads that fray,
Chasing the truths that quietly sway.

Chorus:
Maybe love will ebb and flow,
Yet its roots still intertwine.
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not,
Like roots that grow beneath the snow,
Blossoming together, a reason, a rhyme, rhyme.

Bridge:
It’s not that we don’t care or comprehend,
It’s just that answers slip beyond our grasp.
In silence, the doubts begin to grow,
Love, once steadfast, now asks to let go.
Keep moving ahead and always be kind,
Some things fade, but love stays intertwined.
Final Light.  

Final Chorus:
Why does love have to come and go,
When it should deepen over time?
Like roots that grow beneath the snow,
Blossoming together, a reason, a rhyme.

Outro:
Through misty paths, we long for the spark,
But sometimes, love means embracing the dark.
It’s not an end, just love’s new start,
A quiet dawn that mends the heart.
