From Afar

Poem by Ava D.

An Ode to Love and love for the shy 🙈 ❤️

From Afar

Shy and skittish mouse

Yet one of a kind— pretty

Yet quiet,

Mine, o’ mine.

Enjoying life’s adventures in silence

Which to you it pleases

And only aloud with ones

To your heart you hold closest.

I admire you from afar.

I know little about you

Yet I feel close.

Even though we only talked a little,

I’m not being weirder

Than my regular weird.

Just learning about who you are from others,

From afar.

No stalker, just me

Wanting to be your friend

And maybe more,

We’ll see how it ends.

Mousey dear,

Come closer.

Don’t be afraid;

I will hold you close

To my heart handmade.

Music and writing-- two constants in my life that I'll forever be grateful for as I bring pieces of my heart to the page, my good side and my bad sides— hope all my sides are good stories to tell. Enjoy!!
