Come visit in the garden On some sunny afternoon Come find me in the flowers Like you always used to do Come disrupt our silence This pact we softly made To keep things how we left them And leave other things unnamed You've dusted off the old book The one I dearly missed You've come to read a chapter The one we often skipped I'll sit a while and listen It's the civil thing to do But love, I didn't need to read The thing I always knew You greet me with a kindness But I can see it in your eyes Your soul is new to heartache Mine has been here many times I want to wrap you up and tell you Your pain is fully grown That's not a lesson I can give you You've got to learn it on your own So I'll water my petunias And send you on your way We find strength in funny places But once we do, it's here to stay So come visit in the garden When you've stopped picking at your wounds My love, I think it's very clear We've got some growing left to do
