A Flower's Journey

Love has always been a quest of mine
It always seemed something easy to find
But once I began my search for it
I realized that it’s something you can’t just get

My journey begins at such a young age
Always thinking that my life will just fall into place
I thought I found my one true love
But as it turns out, it was just a trial run

My heart ached for some time
I truly felt that it wasn’t even mine
It felt painful and cold and had no warmth
Like an uprooted flower that yearned for the earth

Time passed and I began to think that I was fine
That I no longer needed a man to call mine
I planned to move far, far away
Start my life all over and make a new way

And then as life would have it
When you least expect what could happen
I danced my way into a dark room
And met the man that made that uprooted flower bloom

How could this happen? I began to ask
I couldn’t believe he just walked into my life like that
That heart of mine began to heal
It felt so amazing just to feel

Unlike most, our story doesn’t begin at the start
It begins, like a child’s fairy tale, at the happily ever after part
This new journey will not be like any I have stride
Because this time my true love will be right by my side
