****Lilacs**** TRS (Title Requirements Suck)

by: Rob Paquin

I met you in the wintertime
I stared but you looked dead
A thousand thoughts ran across the void
That lies inside my head.

But even in your dormancy
Your beauty was unrestrained
So, I let it run across the void
That lies inside my brain.

I came back to you often.
Sometimes I even spoke
But there you sat so silently
And the void; It almost broke

But never could I forget you
Upon your barren branches I still gazed
Because somewhere deep inside of me
I knew you were in a stage

And so, I'd take my daily walks
Back to the space that held your roots
Hoping that at some point
Your branches would bear fruit

And soon it was your springtime
Yet still you showed no fare
But I couldn't give you up
And each day I'd come and stare

Then summer came and heated you
Leaves and blooms began to show
My patience was rewarded
By the way your blooms did grow.

And as the Fall approaches
All your flowers stare at me
And every morning when I walk out
Your sweet scent's enchanting me

*I'm almost certain you have no idea how lovely you are and how much better you make the world by simply being you.*
-You really are practically perfect in every way-
