this might seem irrelevant to you
as i do not know your life story
but i thought i should share this with you
as i cannot seem to get it off my mind
as it keeps me up at night
rewriting itself and composing what your reaction could be
as i do not know your life story
would it seem strange?
for someone like me to write something for you
even though i have no idea who you are
but i do,
i may not know what you've been through
i don't know what's broken your heart into a million pieces
i do not know what it is that brights up your entire world,
what gives you hope
what gives you strength to continue each day
but i do know who you are to me
you are lavender.
your beauty travels far
but you have a certain sadness that lingers beneath the soils of your fields
it's all in your eyes and the lines of your face that has seen so many things
that has shown so many emotions
you are tired
used by people for so long
guiding and nurturing them
giving away a part of yourself each time they venture beyond the fence of where you hold your love
of where it is safe for them
for they know that at any time
they can come back
with the knowledge that
you have the strength
and the love
to hold them up
so i may not know your life story
but i know who you are to me
who you are to others
which is lavender
