It Came

Their love came,
like dewy white roses dropped in a coffin during a funeral — too late for people to appreciate their beauty.
Like newly served coffee that burned your tongue as you took a sip — too early to be drunk.
Like a young grass emerging in the garden of colorful flowers pulled by the gardener as soon as it sprouts — believed to ruin things around it.
But also like a daffodil in the sea of lavenders — its beauty's not where it's supposed to be.

  
And so their love came like a gentle wind — felt but never seen.
