Just Another Fern

Just Another Fern (A confession…) Love at first sight this must be, Such beauty and grace I live to see. Portrait of perfection in the spring air as you dance, My precious daffodil, spare me a glance. I peeked, I stared, I witnessed, I died, By the sight of a foe longing to be at your side. Jealousy whispered, its icy breath I felt, Packed with love and courage, to your highness I knelt. You answered my prayer, even said you were pleased, But why do I feel that your happiness I seized? It struck me like thunder, your coldness revealed, You’re in love, but not with me, an ugly truth unconcealed. I dreamt, I saw, I tried, I failed, Disappointed and hurt, but love never paled. I would rather go blind, I would hold on ‘til I dry, I would keep on hoping, I would try and try. To retreat and surrender, I will never learn. I'm just another lover, just another fern.
