I love the green around us
that hugs our knees
like a child coming home
but these little hands
cannot find the back-seams
that kept our hearts in a row
you're ahead
but I'll follow you
just the same

This is so beautiful I was left with a sigh and a saddened heart. So beautifully done. Best to you in the contest

Just so soft and beautiful
You always find the perfect words without any struggle and they always make me read them with such a sigh.
All the best with this

Great take on the prompt, and I love the contraction with 'you're'.
