Love is like a flower

[joesammsington]

Drought has swept through all the land
We wistfully reminisce of the rains of last year;
The budding romance it had so furnished
And together shed a sorrowful tear

Passion once held us together
And together we stayed
And though, love, we said it’d never,
Passion mercilessly strayed

So just as autumn follows summer
All things must come to an end
I hope that though you are no longer my lover
You will stay and remain my friend

So there is no need to weep
Nor is there to cry
Love is like a beautiful flower
Even the most beautiful kinds die

I re-wrote this because I originally intended my original poem to be about a poem at the twilight of their relationship, breaking up mutually, but I changed the theme and it got a negative response. So, hopefully, this re-write gets a better one. Thanks!
