I am in love with you
The way you laugh
The way you look
The way you live
But you are a garden
A flower-laden field of beauty and innocence
And I am
A tiny insignificant bug
Bobbling from each flower benightedly
With no purpose to serve
And nothing to give to this world

you tell me I am beautiful
that I resemble a rose at the start of its blooming
opening more and more to the world
revealing my overlapping array of perfectly placed petals
a spiral only comparable to the tangled web of life
and an essence that awes god himself
I never see it

But somehow
I feel it
When I am with you
I feel like I am strong
I feel like I am loved
I feel like I am
More than
A tiny Insignificant Bug
I find myself soaring from bouquet to bouquet bountifully
Feeling like I do have a purpose to serve
And something to give to this world
