Love, when it comes,
is unexpected
you think it to come at a later time
or that it won't come soon enough
you spend all your time
preparing for its chance arrival
but when it comes you are unprepared
your heart leaps up
in a flurry of emotion
not knowing what to say
but saying it all at once
Your touch seems to last forever
and yet is over in heartbeat
and afterwards you scream and dance for joy
but weep at not being able to see it soon enough
it comes with a soft knock
that you can barely hear
and all of a sudden there it is before you
Love is unexpected
let it remain that way forever
