Day 13: a Crush or someone you admire

Did you know that caterpillars have dreams too?

I'm not yet a butterfly, but I still wish for you..

And it may not have crossed your mind,

That I've watched you spin your cocoon.

It's just something about your mystery

that keeps me watching out for you.

The change in each layer

Cutting then dying then braiding your hair

Before your wings,

my days were much grayer

But then I could replay your smile like a broken record player

And they're all starting to see the things I've already always known.

So it kills me to have to share you,

though between us, much hasn't grown

When you speak to me,

sometimes I swear you too have always known

that I had hoped to one day call you my own.

But I don't have it in me

to tell you what I see..

And to tell you what I want,

so I'll just have to wait until it's our time to be.

Poetic Hamartia
