I Picked The Memory

You opened
Like a flower
Rising from the snow

You alone
Stood there exposed
You opened yourself
Bloomed before my eyes

Most people would have plucked you
From your place
To steel such presious moments
In a selfish attempt to keep them

But I knew
If I picked you from your place
You would wilt before your time
So I took this moment
This prustine
And utterly beautiful
Moment

And I picked the memory
And left the flower
