Fluke

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

The days are long

and unbearably lonely,

but then he walks in

and my spirits are lifted.


I wonder how I was

so deserving of him,

how I could be so lucky

to call him my own.


Then I think how long

until he realizes he made

a huge mistake and I'm not

good enough for his love.


When I'm drifting to sleep,

I hold back my cries,

muffle them in my pillow

hoping he won't notice.


Somehow his intuition

reads my body language,

and he draws me close

as I fall asleep in his arms.


I don't know how to keep

my insecurities at bay;

I can't help believing

that this love is a fluke.
