Tie Dye

In my heart a seed was planted
A sowing with just what I need
To love with the volume of oceans
All contained in that one little seed

It lodged there that day in the summer
When she sat next to me with her friend
And from the moment she went home that evening
My heart hence has pined without end

I stood on my deck until midnight
She wouldn't depart from my mind
And then from that day going forward
A reason to see her I'd find

At first she knew not of my feelings
In time though her instincts perceived
An inkling perhaps that I liked her
Then at some point that idea conceived

'Til the day when I told her what happened
My dream of her with me in France
I thought I was destined for exile
Confessing my dream of romance

Yet she neither condemned nor despised me
It was almost like she understood
And now we've grown close to each other
I knew with no doubt that I could
