they say love is found in the places
you’d least expect
some find it over a cup of coffee,
a tasty meal or an enjoyable first date.
little did i know i’d find mine
under the scorching hot sun
the end of the world is at its peak,
when two soulful, breathtaking brown eyes
looked at me and said,
“i’m serious about you,
and I hope you are, too”
it was one of the meager moments when i’d
forgotten the world was in chaos,
when all the uncertainties of the past
that ravaged at the back of my head
all spun together into blissful clarity
you picked up the last two broken
pieces of a feeling i thought was unmendable,
and ever so carefully
clutched them
in the palm of your hand.
“if it’s you,” i thought,
“i wouldn’t mind trying again.”
