When The Flowers Bloom

The leaves were falling as you began to like me

The snowflakes fall as I reciprocate

But I can’t help but wonder

If you will still be with me when the flowers bloom

In my dreams I see us

Picking flowers

Walking through meadows

You pick up a flower and put it in my hair, tucking it behind my ear

Perhaps you won’t be with me when the flowers bloom

Maybe I experience my dreams with someone else

Maybe I’m alone

Maybe it’s all fantasy

I know I have depressive tendencies

I know I’m insecure

But with you I feel truly safe and seen

I know I’ve got a lot of emotional baggage

I know it all may be hard for you to understand at times

And yet

I feel like a rainbow after the rain

A flower bravely blooming after a storm, hope and health in my petals

I’m ready for whatever the future throws at me

And I hope that when the flowers bloom

We’re growing together
