As we walked briskly through
One of the airports on one of our trips
I spotted a guy with a sunflower tie
It was definitely too much
But it reminded me of a poem
I had written years ago
I had seen someone
Holding a sunflower at an airport
I had made up stories
for whom that flower was
And secretly hoped, against all reason
That it was for me
But when I saw the guy
With the sunflower necktie
I didn’t wonder, I didn’t hope
Because I have you
And we can’t miss our flight.
