i did not come looking for you,

yet you came quietly,

and how you shook my world!

you make me laugh,

you make me smile,

you make me wonder why.

are you for real?

are you going to stay

and soothe my restless soul?

I could not wait to ride it,

Eversince I can remember, I have

always wanted to be on it.

But I was too young and a little

afraid then.

I had to wait and work hard.

And then before I knew it,

I was ready.

The wait was long and I

persevered.

After all, it has been all

I have ever wanted.

I stepped up and was welcomed

by a warm cocoon.

I held on and braced myself

for the ride.

And what a ride it was!

Only, when I stepped down,

I realized it wasn’t really how I

thought it would be.

There was no fulfilment, no contentment.

Now, I can’t even remember why I

wanted to be on it.
