Love…
…will run away when chased and comes when it is least expected. Being prepared for its arrival is unneeded. Love requires only that you open yourself to its possibility when it appears.

American romantic fiction writer Shana Abe
I don’t want
the heavens
or the shooting stars.
I don’t want
gemstones
or gold…
I want…
a steady hand.
A kind soul.
I want to
fall asleep,
and wake,
knowing
my heart is safe.
