Sunflowers and Surrender

TuesdayEach day I long for the forbidden.
Dreams like seeds planted in poor soil.
My future has been sown since I was young, and now the man I’ve fallen for is off-limits.
Not that he’d give me the time of day.
My brother’s best friend puts out fires by day, and ignites unfamiliar feelings by night.
How do I pluck these desires before they overtake me?I’m choosing to stay positive. Live joyfully, like a sunflower.
If only someone like Alex could adore me as I do my faithful blossoms.
AlexMy life is nearly perfect.
Great job, hot girl, and amazing friends.
So why do I feel off?I’m not looking for more. And if I was, the last thing I’m allowed to consider is Tuesday Palmer.
If only she hadn’t put me under a spellwith her bright smile and radiant personality.
But restraint is the name of this game.
I can only look, not touch, this tempting flower.
Even if I’m dying to surrender.
