I'LL BE YOUR SUNFLOWER
When I sit by the sacred river,
all my thoughts are of you.
I see your hair in the wind
as I stare at the flow of the water.
I see your mesmerizing smile
as the purity of the river,
and when it's raining,
I see the drops of your tears.
In the flowers, I see the softness of your eyes,
and when you're shy,
they remind me of your crimson ears.
I dream of being the cause of your laughs.
I dream of being the one keeping you calm.
I wish you would love me the same way I do.
Like the sunflower, every time the sun makes it to dawn—
either I'll bloom to you, or no one.
