Antonyms

A word for you newest reluctant darling
A new fresh word to open out
Flower into a sentence and then drift off on the air
I have used old ones in the past cardboard cutouts
Because they fit you right
But instead I will say
Blithe
Exquisite
they don't go together
When I look at you
I see new grown vulnerability
And happiness.
That's why, then,
I've used antonyms.
