The Terrifying Thing About Love

© more by Madalina Coman

Published by Family Friend Poems September 2020 with permission of the Author.

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.
