He loves me not...
Wordless whispers through the trees
Softest grass beneath my knees
Buttercup decide my fate
Hoping that it’s not too late.
He loves me...
Losing him I cannot bear
Love and laughter that we shared
Precious memories of you
Need to know you love me too
He loves me not...
Sadness I just can’t abide
Down here by the riverside
Where we one time sealed our love
Melded both like hand to glove.
He loves me...
Outcome I just can’t ignore
One petal left – there is no more
Swore we’d never be apart
Life is crushed – my broken heart.
He loves me not...

Can you do the 'loves me,loves me not' thing with the petals of a buttercup? Are there enough? It's normally with a daisy, isn't it?
It seems there are enough. Five generally. (Another verse? No, it would be a happy ending then:-))

Lovely maria, great idea and just enough petals ;)
With a name like Duffy there must be some Irish in you, which of course explains the quality of your work ;) Well done on the cherry; well deserved!

I too wondered about the buttercup, but liked this anyway, so it didn't seem to matter.

I agree with Ewan perhaps one more verse.. but then again perhaps not that would change everything... the alternating love me - love me nots are brilliantly done

Memories when small taking each petal of park or school doing it, I think it was a Daisy but can do with any flower, and the Buttercup yes we always held under the chin, see who liked butter! reflection. well done cherry. Do you remember The Dandelions to? One O'clock, 2 O'clock 3 O'clock 4 memories julie
