When Love Came In

I feel, lonely.


There’s no better way to put it.


After being surrounded by people for so long,

I now long to have someone near me at all times,

not strangers that come and go,

but friends,


maybe even a lover.


Then as if my thoughts were read aloud,

she appeared before me.

A very beautiful woman,

who was now concerned about my lack of a response.


“…Hellooo?”


“Hm—oh, I’m…sorry I was, lost in thought.”


“It’s all good. Happens to the best of us.”


“Doesn’t it?”


I rang her up, and she went on her way.


For a few months after that,

she would come by,

and we’d have a few conversations,

which eventually led to a few nights out.


Before I knew it,

I had fallen for her,

but I was too afraid to ask her out.


Then one night, she asked me out of nowhere:


“Do you want to start going out?”


I didn’t know how to respond,

so I just said the first words that came to mind.


“I wanted to say that.”


Then we both started laughing.


We turned the tv off,

and we left to the bedroom,

and after some time,


we fell asleep.
