i would honestly like
to know you better
be your friend.
i am trying to find my
way to the light
in your life,
but you don’t have to
shine for me.
just make sure you
don’t spend your life as
darkness.
do not be afraid
of your own flowering.
be a rose,
iris, or daffodil,
but never an underground heart.
you may blossom for me if you
choose,
but don’t ignore the
early signs of spring.
the chilly sun has secrets
to show you
grow barefoot into the
wakeful dream.
