When Love Finds You

I WASN’T LOOKING! I’D GIVEN UP SEARCHING. I HAD STOPPED WAITING. NO LONGER WISHING. NOT EVEN CARING! ONLY LIVING. PASSING TIME. ACCEPTING LIFE AS IT WAS. MOVING ON… LETTING GO! THEN IT WAS THERE. CAME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE! I DIDN’T SEE IT COMING. WASN’T EXPECTING IT. DIDN’T EVEN WANT IT. CERTAINLY DIDN’T “NEED” IT!!! BUT… THERE IT WAS! IT FOUND ME. SNUCK IN LIKE A THEIF IN THE NIGHT. IT CAPTURED ME… CONTROLLED ME. I TRIED TO FIGHT IT. DENY IT. PUSH IT AWAY. JUST COULDN’T DO IT… IT WAS TOO STRONG… TOO POWERFUL. IT SOMEHOW GOT THROUGH! I ACCEPTED IT. I RETURNED IT. I ENJOYED IT. WANTED IT! NEEDED IT!!! IT HAD ME HEART AND SOUL!!! …THEN IT LEFT! IT ENDED! WALKED AWAY…LEFT MY ALONE, WEAK AND SHATTERED. IT TOOK MY HAPPINESS, MY SOUL, MY LIFE… GONE JUST AS SUDDENLY AS IT HAD APPEARED. LOVE… IT DESTROYED MY HOPES, MY DREAMS, MY EVERYTHING!!!!! LOVE… IT FOUND ME, OH YES, IT FOUND ME. IT FOOLED ME, IT TRAPPED ME, IT CONTROLLED ME, THEN…LOVE… LOVE!!! ABANDONED ME!!!!! …WHEN LOVE FINDS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
