๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Princess in a Lemon Tree
The tender ache of embracing a love I once believed was already mine;
My soul yielded to the solace of your embrace, and my heart basked in harmony,
The fierce tide of emotions that swept over me
Since the moment I called you mine.
With you, the longing to grasp a thorned rose only grows,
Its thorns carving rivers of crimson along my hands and fingers.
Perhaps that is the love I would offer, just for you to not let go.
For if you do, the other half of me will perish in the silence left behind.
With you, I no longer seize my breath.
I no longer seek to flee.
I no longer shroud my pain.
Because with you, I found the serenity I had always yearned.
This is love.
A love that needs no locked doors;
It welcomes you with open arms and the warmth of home.
No longer do I need to hold back, for this is a love worth a thousand risks and chances.
A love where rivers of doubt and grief no longer flow,
The crowds are no longer daunting,
And where their presence offers tranquility that exists only in the fleeting moments of dusk and dawn โ a quiet truth that binds them to me.
If I could tell you this,
That in every star I see,
In every person I meet,
They all know your name โ as if the universe itself breathes it.
Murmured in the rustle of leaves and the hush of the wind,
It lingers in the heart and soul of a princess in a lemon tree.
