Or, okay, let's say maybe twenty years down the line I meet someone nice and I've already given up on ever finding true love. Let's say the girl is a few pounds overweight, has fizzy hair and an annoying laugh, but at this point, I'm also a few pounds overweight and my hair is thinning and my laughter is annoying. Maybe then the two of us get married, and both our groups of friends will say, 'See I told you that you'd find true love. It just took a while.' And we'll smile, but we'll both know it's a lie--”

Because love makes me lose my mind in the brokenness of life.”

“Love Sometimes

Love she said.
Is when you reach into
Your purse & don't have enough
To make your purchase.
Love she said.
Love is when you constantly search,
Looking for that missing magic.
That missing nickle or dime,
A complete bill that unravels
In the nick of time.
Love sometimes is second guesses
And quick reassurance.
Love sometimes holds up the line
& makes you crazy.
Love she said
Love is a stranger that creeps up
From behind
& gives the cashier what you need
Sometimes not what you want.
Love she said
Is human.
Love she said
Sometimes walks out the door
Soon as you see it”
