💗Longing
Letter to my lover
Nanda Regine
Our infatuation was as radiant and plush like fertile soilBearing a rose seed of our undiscovered loveBut we were never ready for the uncalculated seasons of mixed emotionsBecause our growth was rather harsh like the stormy nights we sat through waitingWaiting for our rose petals to bloomOh, but they did, my loveA petal opened when your eyes sung in silence with unspoken feelingsAnother opened when my breath got tangled in my throat,Every time a whisper of your presence kissed my skinLike a tidal wave... We collidedYour waters of affection clung onto my soil of needThat is when our rose bloomed, my loveAs our petals bled redder and our seasons began to changeThe more protruding our rose bud became
