Today's Dabble in Poetry

I haven't written many poems lately. And I have a thousand excuses as to why. But that's not important. Before I immerse myself in Hell Week. I wanted to share this with you.

I could call her my first love

But I wouldn't want to put that much pressure on her

To me she was always delicate

Mine to protect

I could say that it was epic

But then I'd be guilty 

Of trivializing  a situation that was much more

Than a lowly adjective

I could have crushed her

Under the weight of all that I felt 

Take her by surprise with the emotions 

That nearly blew me away

I settle on calling her nothing but her name

Accepting that maybe she's just supposed to float in and out of my life

Teaching me...grooming me

Until I find the girl I yearned for her to be

I could call her many things

But today I settle for Sarah

I love you for stopping by
