The Flowers You Gave Me

August 23, 2017

The flowers you gave me last forever

Even on the spilled red side

You gave them to me again last night

Sacred, over and over. Don't think

That I will ever lose you. Time is nothing.

Their petals ring like the fragile beat in my heart.

Don't think that you live through me; it is the opposite climb:

I will meet you there as I do each moment of my life.
