Dreams are fleeting, but we’ll chase them
into the Valley, yours and mine
becoming ours.

I love you’s are my passing kisses;
listen to my heartbeat.

Whatever was before, it’s all
on a different road.  Maybe I’ll cut my hair,
maybe I’ll swim in the ocean.
I wish my words were as beautiful as you.
You’re as lovely as the morning.

You smelled like a boy, no—
like a man,
sweat and worry and emotion,
strength and stillness that boys don’t have.

I smelled like a girl, like new pollen,
nothing more.

I’m replacing sorrow with flower petals,
falling lightly and lingering Spring.
The seeds you sowed in my breast are waking up.
In my heart, something was born in the melted snow.
Never, ever forget me as I am
in full bloom.

I wonder
what color I am. Pink like caressing your cheek,
yellow like the sun on your shoulders,
white like your angel.

I wonder
if I’m poisonous too.
[031] is Flowers.

Oleander/Locky.

So I was reading Wasteland today, and I realized that Locky and Oleander ARE Lex and Marina. It was pretty depressing. . . xD But it's okay, because they have lives of their own now! THEY CAN'T BE STOPPED. D8

Anyway. This is kinda just randomness, so please critique! :heart:
