How the dandelions remember you
The dandelions forgot to love themselves today. They refused to bloom. They refused to show up even in the mirror to tell themselves that they are enough. I will not forget you. I will use our memories as a souvenir of how much I am able to love, I will put your tears into a bottle, throw them into the ocean and hope they find you I will take out the dead flowers that you bought so they too can grow somewhere else. You be the rose in a sunflower garden tell them that reciting poetry is the only thing you've ever been good at.
