Soul Brand

Folder: 
Gus

I wasn't expecting you

I wasn't looking for you

and you weren't looking for me

 

but you swept in on the wind

and branded my soul with your mark

like you were making a claim on it

 

but the timing was wrong

the universe sent you too early...

or too late

 

What do I do, now that I can never belong to someone else?

You hit the bullseye, most excellent Poet!
