Waiting to Bloom

At that very moment, somehow you know

You look at me just so and emotions overload

All this time I'm wondering where you've been

It's long overdue and I'm longing again.

 

You're the only one who gets this right

Will you make this the perfect, restless night?

Don't need my dreams; I can thrive without sleep

For I bloom when you share your secrets with me

 

Every time I think you've reached my core

You peel back the petals and uncover more

Just when I'm sure my adrenaline's drained

You recharge my soul; like the first time... again

 

The perfect rose, it blooms only once

The scent, the beauty, angelic to touch

Though the thorns it hides may cause us pain

You'll risk it with me; it's worth the gain

 

Take hold of my hands; read into my eyes

You're the one who fuels this unstoppable drive

We'll get there together and rise with the moon

Don't hesitate now; I'm waiting to bloom.
