And also, the sun that comes now and then
Even the hidden flower gardens that have begun to grow
If only you could hear the cries from my heart pleading that you come back
Pleading that you return, here by my side always
If only these thoughts I have, you could read behind my smile
I sometimes close my eyes and with fondness recall my memories as a child with you
Remember when we played at the parks sometimes?
Remember when we sat and watched movies together?
Remember when I had to go to the hospital and you held my hand?
Although you will never fully understand what is here in my heart
I keep holding onto hope that one day you will return
Hope that one day you will be standing next to my bedroom door
Hope that one day my thoughts will reach you
In my heart has bloomed a pansy
She has given me the strength to keep going
When the day comes, I’ll give it to you
My beautiful pansy that is waiting for you
