Something Real

We taught each other such patience,
after all why become a spoil sport? 

Little things create big moments,
every day together feels too short;

Accepted that nothing’s perfect, 
but fairy tales can still come true;

Looked inside and saw a wildflower,
I think you saw a bit of that in me too;

Flooding the cracks of a bleeding heart,
you gave sustenance to my garden bed;

Understanding what feeds a fantasy,  
something real is what grew instead.
