Never Chase Love
I’m told to never chase love,
if it does not make itself known,
if the other person does not match my efforts
they are not the one,
but it is easier said than done
when you are consuming my thoughts,
images of you and I together flood my mind
as I imagine the future adventures
I wish to take with you,
how well we balance together,
and how I cannot wait
to learn more about you
So I pause,
reminding myself of what I deserve,
but silently hoping
my phone will illuminate with your name
asking what I am doing this weekend
