I hope one day<br />somebody loves you<br />so much<br />that they see violets<br />in the bags under your eyes,<br />sunsets in the downward arch<br />of your lips<br />that they recognize you<br />as something green,<br />something fresh and still growing<br />even if sometimes<br />you are growing sideways<br />that they do not waste their time<br />trying to fix you.
