It was a day in summer
when you watered the flower
Surprised by its sudden bloom
in a space with no window
called bedroom

Believed it can't live until spring –
Barely living
Until it sees you coming
Overjoyed with the new petals
its wearing
Transformed into a human being

You held hands
"to forever with you I cling"
