Not Unwanted

Never something I was looking for

I had turned myself away

off

unavailable

prefering to make of life

what it was.

Began so slowly

a message here and there

until it became a daily thing

creeping up on us both.

When you don’t look

when you don’t grasp

when you are surprised

by the sudden longing of feeling

remember that I too am as flustered as you.

These feelings

emotions

desires

unexpected

yet not unwanted.
