if we were a garden
i'd be a flower
you'd be a sprout
both beautiful, alive, delicious
we grow apart
we appear to be separate
distance between us
standing on our own
tall & proud
but
underneath the soil,
our roots are tangled together
holding hands
quietly nourishing each other
to grow strong & healthy on our own
even in separation, we are connected.
to give the one you love space is a magical gift
holding you has always felt so right.
just give me time.
