Love Story

She would write about love
as a fantasy, imagined situations 
of heartfelt adorations, never fully 
understanding what it meant,
to be caught up in the emotion, 
it was always just a notion.  
She became so absorbed in the observation 
that she missed all the signs 
during their assignation. 

The touches, 
the looks, a questioning glance, 
she didn’t see what was happening, 
that this was her chance.  She almost 
walked away from her own love story 
but thankfully she noticed and the 
rest is now history.  She no longer has 
to write about love as casual observer, 
she now spends every day with 
someone who loves her.
