Dear My Sassy Sincere Sunflower

Your flowers must attract butterflies

Because the ones in my stomach are constantly pulling me closer to you

Despite this i've tried to cut myself open

I've tried to let them out

Colors swirl and flowers bloom

Yours being the loveliest of all

The suns rays bring light to your face and I can't help but stare

You're so beautiful

The frog in my throat is making me croak

It speaks of you

The frog ribbits of my thoughts

You constantly on my mind

I need to keep my mouth shut if I am to survive

There's a snake slithering up my leg

It hisses and squeezes me

Lemurs swing on my heartstrings

Mice skuttle around as they are chased by the cat that controls my muscles

My heartbeat that of a hummingbird'

My body a jungle of spirits making me walk to you

It's tearing my heart apart

Then you catch me as I swoon

And the animals stop

And stare

At the sun

As the sun rises you open up

An aura of light

That brings me to my knees

I can't deny it any longer

I just want to say

I think I love you
