Gardens

It's called "falling" in love for a reason.

I used to be a tree,

Strongly rooted in the ground

Independent.

All alone.

Now, I am a mere blade of grass.

My roots intertwine

with those of another

just like our fingers

when he's holding me.

 

But if he were

To be ripped from my life

I would be uprooted as well.

This tree no longer stands tall

But my lawn assures me that

Love is well worth the risk.
