Like-Minds.


Drip drop 
no, a flood --
You've op'ed the pump up wide --
Once you start I cannot stop; 
you awake my mind.

It's simple, then, evolves in minutes
from generic to highly intriguing.
I will talk to you for hours,
if I'm not a bother.
Let's talk, for hours.

It's only fun when I know you're happy,
so when you are, 
I come alive. My very soul blooms 
when it's with you.

But distrust
or disfavor,
perceived or in truth,
slays me -- crush my heart;
I will shrink like a flower 
if you do not give me water.

I do not know how to navigate
this new and frightening field,
but I'm excited. There's fluttering in my chest --
Just take my hand and hold it; I'll be fine.
