Sunflowers in the Aisle

Sometimes, I imagine myself as a sunflower with bright petals—a warning sign to others. A deceptive face, hiding secrets deep within, like a tragic tale of Greek mythology.

I always try to follow the sun, and when I can’t find it, I turn to you instead, gazing into your eyes. I lean in a little closer, basking in your fragrance. Maybe someone kind will dry us together, preserving us for eternity. Or maybe they’ll pack our seeds into the same packet, and we’ll sit on a shelf at Lidl—like a modern love story.
