Wallflower

They were so hard to find,
Protected them by hiding away,
You held on to the fear,
That someone would reveal,
Things that you had buried

Ocean rims of blue
Sharp blades of green
With jagged hazel cliffs
Reminders of the sea
The countryside you love
Both so beautiful

From only stolen looks
The glimpses that it took
To find
The secrets that you held
I pointed out the obvious.

Now that I am in
There is no walking away
From you
Long to be the one
Who holds your gaze.
