I had been in a storm my own mind conjured.
Excuses to hide my lack of desire to thrive and grow.
Slowly digging my way up from somewhere buried below.

The clouds began to clear and you smiled down at me.
I began slowly stretching, reaching toward you.
I craved to feel the warmth of your rays shining down on me.
Opening up the more attention you paid to me.
And it was the first time I had seen outside of myself.

You are only ever you and yet I always love you more and more.
You are too grand to belong all to me
Yet I will always try to put my best self out there for you.

For after all
I am only one small flower
And you are the Sun.
