For my friend who I love as more than a friend

He, They, She
He was raw passion
Love bruises on your neck
Scratches on your back
He was adventure

They were for old times sake
Inside jokes and party comfort
They were the favourite
They were and will remain

She was sunday comfort
Tenderness with forehead kisses
Cuddles under soft blankets
She was the scary choice

You loved Him
You loved Them
You loved Her

He fought for you and your love
They sat back and let you come to them
She held your hand at night

You loved Him
You loved Them
You loved Her

He was brash as a bear
They were calm as cafés
She was comforting as sunlight

He loved the idea of you
They loved the memory of you
She loved the solace of you

Your Garden
A kiss on my temple grew a daisy
A smile against my throat bloomed a rose
Your fingers on my arm gave me wild flowers
Your nose rubbing mine left a carnation

Make me your garden
Water me tenderly and plant new flowers
Allow me to grow into your Eden
Allow me to shade you

From a barren land I have become life
Flowers sprout from me in search of the sky
They grow and twist under your care
From life I have grown lovable
