falling in love

i keep a plant alive
on my kitchen
window sill for over a week.

i'm very proud of myself.
watering. talking to those green
leaves,

those delicate sprouts of purple,

spinning it towards the sun.
i've even given it a name.

violet.
i'm falling in love with her.

i truly believe she's in love
with me,
and after all i've done,

who wouldn't be?
