Lavender Seeds

1

At first, I didn't like your face.
I didn't like your hair
or your clothes
or your jokes.
At first, I didn't care.
At first, I didn't like lavender.
I didn't like the scent
or the color
or the flower.
At first, I didn't care.

But you grew on me like lavender
as though I swallowed lavender seeds whole.
I fell for you both.
