Dead Flowers Can't Blossom

Hey

you

 

One day I want you to smile at me

that dimple forming in your cheek

with knowing eyes

that we will be together

 

Not today

not tomorrow

sometime though

when we both know it to be true

 

I adore you

with a bittersweet tenderness

darling one day

you can have all of me

 

For now

let's just be

no complexity

sugary smiles and risk-free laughter

 

and if that day never comes

I swear we did it all wrong

 

with care

Decora

 

...

please though

just open your door 

okay
