Wildflowers emulate life in her smile,
cascading a sparkle in her gaze
as she strolls down golden roads,
snaking through quiet neighborhoods,
stepping over cracks on sidewalks.
His touch upon her chin softens her heartbeat,
buzzing through his ringtone.
She stands outside his house,
spilling her guts through her cupped mouth,
and he forgives her, seeing the best in her
just like everyone tells him not to do.
