just breathe in through your nose, & out through your mouth.

my word is now peace.

i tried love,

but it's too demanding.

i tried rest,

but it's too constricting.

i even tried life,

but it's hard to see the bright side of things,

with your eyes closed.

but peace,

that is what i'm looking for.

universal;

inside myself.

i've been waiting for you for years,

to come and take me away.

to bring me to a better place.

a secret garden of sorts,

where the seasons don't matter,

because romance is always blooming.

where our relationship is budding,

but we can't cut the stems.

too small to grow on its own,

but too big to start from roots again.
