Daisy of the Desert (thanks to Pan)
Standing there
Silent
A fragile daisy struggling to hold onto the ground
I witness the sweep of your brown-eyed gaze
It lands on me
Silent
A butterfly fighting the wind to get to the daisy
I can't move
I can't breathe
Hoping this isn't just my reality playing before me
You smile
It's not as confident as before
Your eyes are slightly shifty
And you're silent (for the first time in your life)
I just stand there
Waiting
Unsure
You open your mouth
Close it
Shake your head
I smile back at you
Hoping to invite you closer
You blink a few times
"Hey, maybe we should hang out again soon"
Those words have never sounded sweeter
"Yeah, maybe we should"
You nod your head
And walk away to your car
I wave good-bye
I won't climb the stairs back to my front door (until I know you aren't coming back for me)
And the wind blows the butterfly away
And rips the daisy from the ground...
