Blooming

Aching 

Wishing 

Wanting

Regretting

I need it

It changed me

It nurtured me

Held me close

Promised me the stars

And vowed to 

Never let go

Until it did

And I was a flower

Beautiful and

In full bloom

I didn't wilt

Like everyone 

Thought I would...

I thrived

Grew taller

Stronger

Bigger

But then

Time passed

Too much

For it to last

Now here 

I am

Lingering

Trying 

Building up

My strength

Until another year has passed

Because this year,

I wasn't 

In season

I adore this. It is so simple yet so powerful. This is beautiful poetry! The comparison to your heart and a flower is such a pretty image.

I like the description in the poem. To desire rebirth and not be in season left the reader with a sad ending. Thank you for the excellent poem.
