an ode to a rose

("above all else, rejection - the proud, violent declaration of rejection is the one that feasts on the soul for an eternity" - me (lol)

Oh my handsome effervescent beauty!
How you peek so effortlessly behind your pink sheltered family
And smile softly at me
Tell me tales of your life, lift me up with your stories
Let me adore your petals and hug your leaves
Let's share in this awkward misery
Oh my pretty rose
You don't understand how much I love talking to you
Or at least I think I do
I know this is absurd
But you bring me joy
Quiet joy that bubbles inside me
You make my heart flutter
I'm terrified
I'm horrified
I wish we could talk more often
Maybe we could make something of it?
Grow a friendship for the ages?
I wish I could know what you thought
I wish I knew
Oh my immensely pink rose
I delight in your company
The days taste like fire and honey
Your cheeks rise when you find me
Isn't that funny?
Oh, handsome effervescent beauty
Your name is such a wonder
It rolls off my tongue beautifully...
