I Didn't Know

Posted May 24, 2011 · 15 lines · 7 critiques

I didn't know I was waiting.
With no idea I was looking for anything
I quietly put my heart away
not missing it or its needs.
I closed the door happily.
Life continued pleasently for me.
Satisfied and content
I did not see these as lies.
The day I let you in I was
swept away.
On a wild tide of swirling
illogical emotions;
I was dragged from the saftey of shore.
Cast adrift in a turbulent storm
of pent up desires

"Ah yes - it always seems to go, when we stop looking, it finds us. And it can be like being wrapped in purple lightening. Rare and electrifying. I agree with China though. A few less I's and this would be perfect, but t…"
