My veins light up when they hear your name
Said you can't make the same mistake again
I don't blame you at times I feel the same
So much going on that we're heading the wrong way yet these feelings I can't tame
We haven't spoken in a week after i apologized
Apology accepted but exactly what I expected you feel the
same
I guess I'll throw in the towel too but that doesn't change the fact
I miss you
And your soul will be replenished
once you're showered with
what you crave
and yearn for the most
Your roots spread
and dig
and grow
You'll spurt into the tall blades
into the night sky, even
Your curled petals
will open to this world
What do you need?
Your stretched petals will tell you
And so will the sun,
the great source in the sky
Grow and grow through the garden
The garden is your home
to rest
to replenish
You need a home
You need others akin to a home
Flowers need love
And love you shall receive, child.

Today I say "I Do."
Today, I commit to loving someone
that I could only dream of.
Today, I realize that I will have to work,
Work to love her like she deserves.
She deserves forgiveness, kindness, patience.

Today I will create a love that is impenetrable--
No one will be able to erode the strength,
self-confidence,
and resilience.
