Wildflower

I didn't know how much I missed you until I watched you bloom vibrant and new.

Dear Wildflower,

I didn't know how much I missed you until I watched you bloom vibrant and new. Your presence brought me so much joy. I had forgotten the depth of your colors and calming effects of your beautiful scent. I began to wake up excited and anticipating moments with you.

Suddenly as you came you disappeared. Transitioning with the season's change you faded away. Missing you was instantaneous and intense. Longing mixes with pangs of loneliness and there are moments when I think I catch a glimpse or a scent that tickles my remembrance.

Knowledge and understanding of change do not lessen the pain. The color and perspective you brought altered me. I am not the same. I cannot wait to see how you bloom next season. May you be a little brighter, a little bigger, and always remember you exist for a reason.

Take the best care.

With all my love,

Stephanie
