if

You do see it, maybe even for a second.
It consumes you .
Your mind is being eaten by constant thoughts.
And so when something
Beautiful comes along, a fresh new rose,
You do not seem to realize that it
Has thorns too.
Only i do. And i am ready to
Be pricked.
So as he stands and waves at me from across the room,
I smile at him and wave back.
I do not know his intentions yet.
But right now i do not care about the thorns.
Because the closer i get
I smell the scent of the fresh rose and
It leaves something there.
