Give me my flowers while I'm still alive

Let me smell the scent of white roses while I still can Please... I beg of you

Don't tell my lifeless body how much you cared for me

Come tell me now instead

Tell me how bright my smile is - how it warms up the room

Speak to me about my character -  tell me what sets me out from all the other people you've met

I know you have nice things to say about me

Just don't wait until I'm dead

I want to hear about myself too

Tell me about the day we first met 

And tell me why you'll never forget it

Tell me how you couldn't stand me at first but I made my way to be among your list of favourite people

Since I've let you in

Tell me what you know I stand for - Is it justice? Is it love? Is it body positivity? 

Paint the picture you see of me through your own lens

And tell me how you interpret me

I want to see just how well you know me

Why don't we take a trip down memory lane? 

Tell me, whats that one memory of me that will forever stick with you

Remind me of those little details that maybe even I forgot

Help me realise and appreciate just how far we've come

I know God will always love me more

But I really don't mind being told "I love you" everyday

I'm just saying... 

Don't ever let me question where your affection stands

And please, I beg of you

Allow me to do the same to you

This love is mutual.
