Wildflowers.

The way the wildflowers
sway back and forth
in the summer breeze
reminds me of your spirit;
stay open and free.

“Wildflowers” – sugar and sandalwood

I watched the rain
streak down the glass
of the windows.
Thinking of the last time we spoke;
I didn’t realize that would be
the end of us.

“The end of us” – sugar and sandalwood

We were sitting on
the beach, basking in
the sunshine, and he
opened the bottle of
rose and said
don’t moments like
these last forever?

“The beach.” – sugar and sandalwood

I lay in bed, gazing
at the sky as clouds
roll past. The sun beams
down onto my face, and
all I can think of is
the last time we kissed.

“The last time.” – sugar and sandalwood

Isn’t it funny
how the things
we want, but
don’t get
lead us exactly
to the perfect place?

And over time,
you will shed
the layers of
insecurities
and untruths
that you
patched onto
yourself
like an
uncomfortable
quilt.

“Time.” – sugar and sandalwood

I’ve had things
ripped away from me.
I’ve given things away.
Some things,
I’ve lost.
And in the end,
it all remains the same:
I learned to let go.

“Learning to let go.” – sugar and sandalwood

Your worth is
limitless,
like a vibrant,
fragrant
field of lilacs
swaying
back and forth
winds
of the
spring.

“Your worth is limitless…” – sugar and sandalwood

Life expands
as it goes on.
Opportunities
open wide
with experience.

“Life expands.” – sugar and sandalwood

Even though a year
has passed, I still
think of you and
what we could have been.

“One year.” – sugar and sandalwood
