It was like love at first sight
but it wasn't.
I heard his voice and a flicker had gone off in my mind,
I ignored it because I didn't have faith in myself.
Yet I couldn't help but hear his voice,
It was like one I never heard.
Couldn't compare to any voice, any noise, or any song on the planet Earth.
I took a moment to close my eyes,
thought to myself, "is this was real life?"
I tapped my head once or twice to make sure I wasn't fading in and out of reality.
Chatting had later lead to laughter, his laugh was like no other...
My chest had tightened up like a knot, face red as a tomato, mouth open wide.
Gripping my chest, my brain couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Laughter then lead to days and nights of talking.
Talking about one another lead to me not understanding myself,
this rosebud in front of me wanting me to water it so it could bloom yet,
I was confused with myself.
Insecurities beat me ruthlessly,
leaving me bruised and bloody on the cold floor.
"You believe this is for you?"
"You actually think you deserve this?"
"Keep dreaming princess!"
They wouldn't leave me alone,
they forced me to go without watering the flower.
I went towards a daisy,
even though roses were always my favorite I choose a daisy.
They finally left me alone but I felt empty,
the rose was slowly wilting.
I continued to water the daisy,
following the instructions of my messy mind.
Days pass and my heart feels shriveled,
I miss my rose,
pretty and red,
filled me with happiness.
What have I done?
I can't listen to them anymore,
I have to go with what I want.
So I gave the daisy up,
I ran to the rose and watered him.
Tears ran down my cheeks,
praying to the world that he would take me even though I was foolish to take the daisy.
My heart stopped,
the rose began to bloom,
he then told me,
"I like you."
