It is a terrifying thing
to watch love
walk in your direction
when you believe
you are not ready
to receive it.
In the same manner,
it is quite terrifying
watching love
walk away from you
when you are not yet ready
to let go.
Very well written and, in my opinion, very true. I like it and agree totally with it.
