Love's Oracle
Remember when we first met
the day before school
you were planting a dandelion
with only your hands and a spade for tools
That is how you became known as "Scoop"
What really sent me for a loop
was how one day you could claim to be it's friend
And the next time you declared friendship all in illusion
While I held it's broke body in my hands
This dandelion that I was named after
was important to me
even if some people thought of it as only a weed
With love and luck
it did survive
as my amateur gardening skills
began to
grow and thrive
I fought you every step of the way
pushing my beliefs on you
While also learning
all that you had to teach about our mutual friends
New friends we did make
human and floral
After some hardships
the truth became known
you didn't really want to be alone
as time passed
my love started to increase
not as just a friend
but as a lovers would be
I wanted to hold your hand
kiss your sweet lips
be by your side
through all time
This secret I kept to myself
In fear of what your answer would be
for another you belonged to
I had to wait
for you to decide
her or me
a rose or a weed
Fate had her own plan
After a year it's my time to go
my family needs me
so farewell
The truth became known
As I told you over the phone
You returned my feelings
and followed me home
In the end
I gave you back our dandelion
To seel the pact
"Until we meet again"
and we shall
so says
Love's Oracle
