To You, From a Flower

To You, From a Flower.

When I bloomed,
I fell in love with the wind,
The sun, the rain.
I fell in love with you because it
Was in your garden that I had bloomed.

Each time you plucked a petal off me,
I consoled myself by telling that
It was no big deal,
I loved you and so it didn’t matter
If you hurt me a little.

As I stand here today with a single
Petal, I wonder why
I am still telling myself
That it is no big deal.
I love you and so it doesn’t matter.
