The back alley love fringed on joy
That you crave so desperately
Will only come
When you least expect itLove is not on a timer
In fact
To love, all time is relative
Traveling in its own domainShe'll reach out to you only if
You can handle it
Even if
You aren't sure you canHe'll place his hand on yours
For reassurance
Or to reassure
And it's your job to grasp itNever turn a blind eye
Because she's always a step head
Waiting, just waiting
For the perfect momentWith chronic love comes chronic pain
And he is glad to bring both
And with time
You can learn to spot the differenceThough she may hurt you
Though he may lie
Love comes at the right time
And you won't have a choice
