You are the kindest thing
that ever happened to me,
even if that is not how our tale is told.

When everyone else told me I was
destined to be a forgotten nymph
that nurtured flowers and turn meadows gold,

you saw that the ichor that resides in me
demanded its own throne.
You showed me

how a love like ours can turn
even the darkest, coldest realm
into the happiest of homes.
