THE UNEXPECTED

by @hilaryokello

We paced through love, so quickly! And now, my lips can’t believe the end Is here already. We vowed to be turtle doves- to empty Each one’s heart into the other’s and to blend For years in plenty. Maybe, it was me. Maybe, it was you, Or better still, the both of us; Maybe we all failed to envision Life’s unmasked reality. That love grows and fades, Like music played all over again. That change is a distant traveller, With no definite destination and home to call its home. That love and change are sisters, And we were just their make-up for the day. Sometimes I wish I foresaw this mess, Then, I would’ve bought a cheaper dress And stayed home after all, Than sit by this roadside tormented in the cold, Awaiting your unexpected call.

Notes

when she waits for you, your call, messages, letters, texts...yet she knows none of it will ever come true...the unexpected!
