I want our love to bloom
Want our hands to Intertwine like grape vines
Like a primrose I just need a little sunshine to grow
Just need a little sign to know that you are worth wishes on dandelions
So I can blow these what ifs away
The what if you go or what if you stay
I can’t go through another day unsure
What if the world ends and I never let my heart spill its secrets to you
Hesitancy bores holes in flowers
Devours the beauty in life
So I spill my secrets to you and let my heart say the truth that it needs to
Waiting for you to tell me how you feel is like waiting for the sky to reveal the sun
The moon cannot cover up your lack of responses
And my petals will wilt everyday you postpone the inevitable
I apologize for asking for sunshine
When I know you can only bring me rain
And I know I am looking for acceptance in a flower garden of pain
But all this waiting won’t stop me from placing my first name next to your last name
And I know rejection would poison my roots and turn my beauty to shame
But I let you know how I feel so that if you feel the same
Our love can bloom
And hands can Intertwine like grape vines
