Staring at the Sun

I make dandelions bloom wherever I am near you In the grass, they will cling to the earth, where everything is still Sunflowers face where the sunshine goes Flowers never care if they’re Staring at the sun You make midnights afternoons, whenever I can hear you And my days reset, I forget how to close a conversation My leaves overstretching, these weeds admiring from below Please stay unaware Staring at the sun I make flowers wilt so soon, and I’ll admit I fear you Though I hide in the stalks, if you sought me out, you would uproot me And sunflowers face where the sunshine goes But I nestle where the dandelions grow Though flowers never care Please stay unaware There’s nothing if you’re not there Staring at the sun
