It's You, My Love! (By Jasmine)

In Of Lavender and Jasmine

It's you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, my love!

'Tis been a day since I came back to our home,
I spent the day cleaning to greet you with a warm
Welcome. Like you know, stuff doesn't really
Hit me when I am engrossed in something, silly
Or serious doesn't matter. But when I'm done,
Oh girl, it all hits me like relativistic jets from
A black hole. 

I made your favourite coffee, it's waiting 
For your lips to touch it -- just like me.
I brought you some mementos from ALMA,
Just to celebrate a minor discovery that, eh,
Would have been done by someone in a
Couple of years anyway. But oh well, 
I did it.

I made a small hankey for you when I was
Bored of it all. I baked two onigiris and 
Packed them in it, for a lil' snack while we
Get back home. I wore your favourite 
Perfume. I wore sapphire blue and hazel,
Your favourite colours. I am in the airport,
Waiting...

Patiently...

For you!

Just for you!

All for you!

For...
It's you-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, my love!

The penultimate poem ahhhhh

Slightly cringe, but who am I kidding, I love them anyways :D

Jasmine was hiding such big news for so long?! So proud of her, especially given how we saw her struggle at work the last time really heard about it.

I am in the airport


Preposition mistake- shouldn't it be 'at'? I could be wrong though, I'm no expert,

I feel like I'm missing the song reference here, if there is one. I think so, from the repeated oohs but my searches turned up empty, as in no song by that title had such vocal notes. Anyways, it was sweet to see Jasmine make the arrangements to welcome her partner so lovingly- quite heartwarming,

ill admit, im not at all familiar with this series, but from what i can tell, the narratrator is someone who deeply loves their partner. I think that its done wonderfully as well, you can feel the excitement she feels for the return of her partner and i think thats just lovely. You can also see how she needs something to focus on constantly and whether thats adhd or stress it is also very well written, this is a very nice piece.

Second to last poem. Let's see how Jasmine is pining =D My prediction is that this is her answer while she waits for Lavender to get off the plane!

Aww she's preparing for ther lover's arrival!! I also like these lines:

Like you know, stuff doesn't really
Hit me when I am engrossed in something, silly
Or serious doesn't matter. But when I'm done,
Oh girl, it all hits me
Very good character note!


The two first lines of the second stanza are really good too :3 It's very fitting!

My prediction came true! Ah, she's so ready, so prepared for this! I also like how the poem slowly peters out toward the end!

I am glad you liked the penultimate poem too, Tika! Jasmine does in fact love her wife a lot, as everyone could guess by now, so preparing for her wife's arrival is just her way of coping with her own stress as well as welcoming her wife! :p



I feel like if men sent unsolicited dragon pics instead of *other* unsolicited pics they’d get a lot further in life
