Forgotten purple tulips litter the ground

No more trips to find the perfect ones

I know it’s not the same

I know there’s less time

But you still have your orange flowers

Why has she forgotten her purple tulips

Mom,Dad

Are you okay?

Why is the vase empty

I miss those purple tulips

I miss when I didn’t understand the fights

I know you both love eachother

And I know I’m over thinking

But why are you so mean to him

And why is he okay with it

You wonder why the orange flowers are flourishing

And the purple tulips are wilted and dried,

It’s because I’m trying to preserve them

I’m trying to preserve the forgotten tulips

I don’t need to remember the orange flowers though

They’re still here

Still thriving

But mom

Dad

Please know its okay

You don’t have to keep your frayed ends together for me

Not all flowers can grow together
