My one true crush is back in town
My hair is not done, my roots on display
My weight has increased, my wrinkles have grown
I think of his eyes, the depth of his blue
And see the echo in his child who is new
I cross the street, I’d rather be swayed
To not say hello, to not stop and greet
I cannot be trusted, my arms won’t behave
To not wrap around him, to hug and embrace
I’ll leave the past, dead as it is
And ignore the sound roaring –
Those pounding heart beats
Beautiful. The feeling may not pass easily. The heart wants what the heart wants.

Feeling cannot be shut off, Erika! But I’m learning they can be acknowledged, respected and then ignored!! Thank you 😊

They are there to lead our path as well as many other things. They and how, how we deal with them, and where they lead us teaches us so much!
