Love Need Not Be Certain

Certainty

Assurance

A sure thing

Traits that are sought out

Welcome

Desired

When it comes to love

Who doesn’t enjoy the occasional slam dunk?

But that’s all it is

Occasional

A rare commodity

Hardly prevalent in the real world

Outside of Hollywood

Certainty

To the contrary, I’ll live with the unknown

Not knowing how it plays out

Because to me, that’s what’s damn exciting!

One thing I’m certain of

Is that I love her touch

The way her sweet head fits when she leans into me

How she calls me “baby”

How she trusts me with intimate details about her life

No matter how unfortunate

How time spent with her goes so fast, I’m left longing for the next time

And the time after that

How she’s the first thing I think of in the morning

And the last in the evening

In hopes of a most wonderful dream

About her

I haven’t the first idea how this goes

The endgame is quite unknown

And I couldn’t care less

For I love her dearly

That’s for certain

And that’s more than enough for me

Were You Real?

Were you real?

I’m fairly certain you existed

Perhaps you still do

Experiences

Hours, days, years

They seem never ending

While they happen

But they’re merely a blip

Did they really happen?

To me

Or am I fostering someone’s else’s memories?

Flamingos

You

Me

Front Seat

You lean

Into me

The dark of night is comforting

We overlook the valley

Like the Hollywood sign

The bustle below is dead silent

The visual akin to millions of lightning bugs

Floating about

The Flamingos on the airwaves

“My love must be a kind of blind love”

“I can’t see anyone but you”

Our arms secure and comfort us

Yours to me

Mine to you

They say actions speak louder than words

Tonight we’ve uttered no words

And said a lot

The Flamingos-I Only Have Eyes For You

Perfection

Perfection

It’s how I describe yesterday

It wasn’t predicted

Wasn’t written in stone

But today a new feeling resides within me

I call it a turning point

A day in which future days will be compared

Fair or not

Yesterday

Perfection

Heart and Mind

I hark back to those days

I put it all on the line for you

And I was so sure

Despite the well meaning words of caution

Misguided emotion provoked radical reform

Despite my apprehension

Funny thing when that happens

When the heart and mind collide

The heart always triumphs

But the mind eventually proves to be the wiser

Time

It was over

Despite a good run

My heart no longer fluttered

Not in her direction, anyway

My affection led me astray

Into the arms of a new beloved

Demanded my burning attention

It was the right path

At that time

Ah, time

The undefeated and unbeatable arch nemisis

Time always proves to be correct

It points out that fluttering hearts change over time

Or that we neglect the warning signs at that moment of clear decision

Signs that may not be seen for years

But they will emerge

And once again, time will point its accusatory finger at you

Taunting

Flaunting its perfect record

And you’ll be left picking up the pieces

Until next time

Valentine

“A sweetheart chosen”

That’s what it says

Ours is an unorthodox love

Hardly textbook

Doesn’t have to be

As long as you are happy

As well as I

It simply works

And I’m thrilled to call you mine

Emotional Affair

https://www.foundationscounselingllc.com/blog/signs-of-emotional-affair.php

An immoveable headspace

Locked in the knowledge that

The absolute path

Is to her arms

Time is of the essence

If I don’t act now I lose her forever

I couldn’t bear it

Can’t you see?

She will make me happy

I feel it

I know it

You cannot convince me otherwise…….

It started so naturally

Just friends

Good friends

Laughs, little notes

Personal details

Innocent…….

Confusion

Why does she invade my inner space?

There’s a time and place for her

Not now…….

Time only intensified the fire in my heart

Her absence created a powerful longing

One in which I would be unable to break free

I have never felt this way before

This is true love

The Greatest Gift

Rescue 

Become the hero

A home

A permanent home 

Food

Water

Companionship 

Snuggles

Rides in the car 

Walks in the park

Unconditional love 

Goes both ways 

You do everything you can 

To take care of them

You’re their entire world

And they’re yours

Yet the greatest gift of all 

You could ever give them

Is when they look you in the eyes

And tell you it’s time

You’re listening

Unique

Gone

Three decades now

The accelerated tempo of time enigmatic

Seems like yesterday

You were unique

Unique in that you were glamorous yet unpretentious

The world hardly revolved around you

Didn’t need to

To me, that’s what defined you

Most overlooked you

But they were imperceptive

And it was their loss
