When It Is Time
I can assure you
Lovesick I am not
I am merely smitten by
the thought of your love
My mind wanders in dreams
of warm, exotic nights
under the stars
That you might hold me
in your arms
speaking words of love
that I might feel butterflies
in my stomach and remember
how it felt
Is it so wrong to wish
for these things?
I do not even know you
You are out there somewhere
and you have not found me yet
But I am here
and I am ready to receive
when it is time

I don’t think it’s ever wrong to wish for the love you deserve 🙂
Yes, everyone should wish for it or at least envision it. Maybe then it will manifest ☺️💕🌺

Happy summer.

Yes Christine, I like this… So many yearning souls around the world that could connect so powerfully, given half a chance…
It’s all about timing, patience and belief I think Scott ☺️ Thanks for reading
Amazing opening lines… 😍
Thanks Punam. I was looking back over some old haikus and wrote one with similar words to the opening lines . I inspired myself! ☺️👍 Lol
