Dandelion

I turned up late

With a bouquet of nettles

And a thorn in my side

In a summer sky mist

Like a butterfly kiss

You saw something in my eyes

Like a wildflower

Overpowered

You picked me up from the weeds

That’s when I told myself

I’d never settle

You seemed to carry me

I’m a dandelion

Simply exist

To break apart

Then start back over

If I got one wish

This would be it

It would be this.
