I found you;
hidden in a corner
on a forgotten shelf,
almost overlooked
next to something
exclusively for myself
hiding in my subconscious
where no one but me could find you

You are my needs;
and like uncultured seeds
you were left unloved
until I found you
It's my turn now
to want and need
to water my seeds
and bloom into the flower
I know I can be
