My Longing

The bloom of a new bud 
planted within me births old emotions. 
Planted within me, not by me but by eyes as deep as the ocean. 
It blossoms beautifully with my blood. 
A deep shade of red it signifies my desire 
I yearn longingly for you 
For this relationship is long overdue 
But my attempts have ended in misfire 
So when will you discover 
My desire 
And become my lover? 
My love burns hotter than the fryer 
So when will you discover
My fire?
