First Rose

You called my name, blossomed pink through a screen
Red face, heart race, bewitched I fell sick in bed
A rusting rose emerged from my slivered soul

Before I slept, I remembered the first time I wished we met

The laugh, that made my days glitch
I'm here again, wondering what happened there
There were times, I yearned to see you again.
