Unknown Love

the chilly breeze was gently blowing, 

pushing my long, golden hair around

the day you planned was very special

we sit down at a picnic where you swoon me with love

you grab the hem of your t-shirt,

it smells sweet like you,

and you twirl and twist your thumb around

i know you are thinking something intelligent and different

we walk around the park a bit, holding hands

you stop, and crouch down to the morning's ground

and look at a daisy growing by itself in a poppy field

you take your large, strong hands and pick it 

you hold it gently for a moment

frozen in time, wondering something creative and grand, 

and you hand it to me and pick me up swiftly as you say:

"the flower is a metaphor for you and i,

you were lonely, but beautiful, caught in a large world around you

and I am here to hold you kindly and take care of you"

oh, what did i do to deserve you?
