when i was still little,
i was right beside a window,
catching all that beaming rays,
from a giant fire ball that glows,
while my parents watch me grow,
in a vase created years ago;

when i was still young,
i'd receive a shower every afternoon,
thinking of the happy ducks swimming at the lagoon,
hearing the cheerful creatures up in their nest croon,
wishing i'd also be that happy soon;


after all the sunlight,
all the amount of water i needed,
it was as though the vase was a sandbox,
my colors have faded, i am withered.
but wrapped around a tiny bow,
was a glimpse of hope,
the sky has bestowed upon a withered flower in a modern meadow,
replacing the sandbox with healthy soil i've longed for,
making the colorful rainbows i've dreamt of,
the blissful moments i feared to be impossible,
become attainable;
i've never been this hopeful in my life eversince i was born, not until you came.
