Work Text:
Like the flowers that bloom
After sudden showers.
My regard for you lay hidden
Like a seed within the earth.
Until such a moment
Where proper conditions were met
And they sprang forth fully formed
Like Athena from Zeus' head.
I do not know, Captain
When I began to become fond of you
Only now do I know the extent to which
I desire you, I crave you, I yearn for you.
The feeling of adoration appeared
Without warning to my person.
Your smile tampered the steady beat of my heart.
Your touch unraveled my control, my discipline.
To a point where I had not a logical thought
That was in concern to you.
You make me want.
You make me feel.
You make me feel shame
When I feel friendship for you.
For what I want
Is far more intricate
Far more precious
Than friendship.
It is love.
Blooming like a flower
Spreading like a weed.
You are something
That I need.
Something that I want.
Something that I desire.
I need you like a flower
Needs sunlight and nutrients.
I need you.
Do you need me?
I want you to need me.
I want you to want me.
