I wish I had a garden of guardians,
a place to plant my heart in, where parting ways-
and the resulting dismay are non-existent.
I wish I had a place to put my heart in,
where my heart remains fully guarded,
never to be discarded like broken business cards.
I wish I had a place to plant my heart in,
so that it could grow into roses and lilacs,
****** into a happily ever after, not to be mistaken for happy endings.
I want to grow a garden of stories, all of which rose petals-
settles on the soil, guiding me to the one who would hold my heart.
I want my heart guarded but enough so that it could still be stolen.

"Roses are red,
Lilacs are light purple;
I'm hoping the rose petals-
somehow leads me to you."
