I wasn't expecting you
I wasn't looking for you
and you weren't looking for me
but you swept in on the wind
and branded my soul with your mark
like you were making a claim on it
but the timing was wrong
the universe sent you too early...
or too late
What do I do, now that I can never belong to someone else?
This has to be one of the
This has to be one of the most deftly crafted poems I've ever read on the subject of ill-fated love and its permanent scars.
You hit the bullseye, most excellent Poet!
powerful! love that last line
powerful! love that last line the best! the story of a love that must be yet can never be.
