And so it begins...
“Thank you for a genuinely fun date. I hope I get to see you again soon, and that the rest of your evening goes well.”
“I had a really good time getting to know you even more. Looking forward to our next one.
“Which I hope happens soon.”
“Do you work/have plans for Friday evening?”
“I don’t work. I don’t have plans. I am yours.”
It may end
I suppose all things do
But one thing I know for sure
Is that I am not afraid -
Not any longer
And hopefully never again,
For I have learned
(finally)
That life is more
Than the fall after the rise:
The drop and the agonizing wait for it.
And so am I
