like the flower you are

if he really loves you

he’ll tend to each of your petals

and make sure the sun shines

in your heart

he’ll love your vibrant colors

and watch you grow

without ever plucking you

for his own selfish desires

if he really loves you

he’ll help you weather every season

and protect you from the jealous insects that try to eat at your beauty

he’ll support you when you begin to wilt and remind you of your strength

as you flower into

who you are meant to be

but most of all,

if he really loves you

he’ll let you blossom and

bloom freely

as you grow to meet a limitless sky.
