we found...

"WE FOUND EACH OTHER
WHEN WE WEREN’T LOOKING
LIKE A RAINBOW IN THE MORNING,
WE DIDN’T KNOW IT HAD RAINED
UNTIL WE DRAGGED OURSELVES
OUT OF BED AND LOOKED UP AT THE SKY.

AND WHEN WE MET IT WAS BECAUSE
NEITHER OF US WANTED TO BE SEEN,
WHEN WE CROSSED EACH OTHERS PATHS
WE WERE BOTH STARING AT THE GROOVES
IN THE PAVEMENT WONDERING WHERE
ALL THE FLOWERS HAD GONE.

WE FOUND EACH OTHER THE WAY
THE WIND SCATTERS SEEDS ACROSS THE EARTH -
WE FELL BETWEEN THE CRACKS,
BUT WE NEVER EXPECTED TO BLOSSOM."
