 ❦  꽃잎의 사랑  ❦



                              내가 왜 몰랐던가,
                당신이 다가와 터뜨려 주기 전까지는
                    꽃잎 하나도 열지 못한다는 것을.

                         당신이 가져가기 전까지는
                        내게 있던 건 사랑이 아니니
                                내 안에 있어서는
                            사랑도 사랑이 아니니

                                아아 왜 몰랐던가,
              당신이 와서야 비로소 만개할 수 있는 것.

                   주지 못해 고통스러운 그것이 바로
                                 사랑이라는 것을.
