Valentine's Day Collection [Closed]

Dahlia (NotInOurStars)

Dahlia 

She was covertly atypical,

Coated in quirks,

But she wore them so beautifully

That there was no need

To complain.

Besides, she wouldn't have cared-

At least, not on the surface,

Though her core was delicate,

And words could not

Mend the rift that they'd made.

A bouquet of dahlias:

I'd bring them to her door,

Just to see her smile.

The pinkish hues of those petals

Would be mirrored on her cheeks...

I have never been more in love

Than I was with her.

She was my dahlia;

Blushing and beautiful, gracefully

Blossoming beneath my gaze.

So gorgeous, so poised,

Until the Winter finally came,

And the flowers fell away.

I don't know where she ended up,

Whether or not

She put down new roots,

Or spread her seedlings someplace else.

Wherever she went,

It must be such a beautiful place

Now that she's there.

I hope that she continues to flower

Just as she did last Summer-

Thus is the nature of true love.

I couldn't really have loved her

If I didn't want her to have the best.
