After You

After You I used to think I’d seen it all— Every shade of love before. But you arrived without a storm, No dramatic open door. Just patience in the way you stayed, Gentle in your tone. And somehow all the broken parts Didn’t feel alone. I thought I knew what blooming meant— Bright and loud and fast. But you showed me a different kind That actually lasts. I’m blooming after you, In colors I never knew. Soft as morning skies in May, Bright as something true. If love is learning how to grow, Then I finally do— I’m blooming after you. You don’t rush the fragile parts, You don’t push for more. You just stand there steady Like sunlight at my door. And slowly, piece by piece, The guarded walls fall through. I didn’t bloom in spite of fear— I bloomed because of you. No pressure, no demand— Just open hands. I’m blooming after you… In shades of something new. If every past was winter, Then you are gentle spring. Not forcing frozen ground— Just warming everything. I’m blooming after you, Not rushed, not overdue. Every petal opening Because you told me I could too. If love is safe and slow and real— Then I know it’s true— I’m blooming after you. Morning light on fresh green leaves, And hope I can believe.
