i was a blooming flower - even you made fun of my naivety questioning it, as if you didn't know i wasn't making it up that i really was confused, that you were my first, and it felt like a leap of faith that i took for you and fell headfirst. today i am a wilting one, my colors bland and muting lifelessly, i pick myself up only to fall again i can't find enough strength in me to make myself whole again and you are nowhere in sight, and still here, not leaving my side for worst.
