All of a Sudden, Or Not At All

All of a sudden, or not at all.

Love does not roll in with the tide.
Love is calculated, and random.
A steady roller coaster best strap in for the ride.
There is no cushion for the fall from grace on the losing side.

Love is a fire, forging diamonds.
There Is a beauty about the catastrophe,
And all that has happened see.
Love has not forsaken me. Instead, it awakens me.
I am in my next iteration.
Love is in gestation.
Love does not favor hesitation.
Must be prepared for the immediacy of interaction.

Love is not checked boxes,
and list, love does not cater to your whims or some wish.
Love can be hoped for.
Love is peace, Love is the spoils of war.
Love is a bargain, yet not found at a cheap discount store.
Love is all consuming yet leaving you longing for more.
Love is four seasons, Winter spring summer fall.
Love is all of a sudden, or not at all.

Love for some may not happen.
It’s dark, a lot of loneliness.
Quiet nights alone. Love is longing even though you might not find.
Love is considerate, it knows what you need. Heartbreak is not kind.
Love is all about destiny, chance, and chemistry.
The right place, the right time.
Love is out of sight but on my mind.
Love is missed opportunities and scars from love’s promises unfulfilled.
Love is not left behind in buried treasure or willed.
Love is incarnate and unable to be killed.
Love is gigantic, hate is little.

Love is all of this.
It’s the final analysis.
There is no counter argument.
You either have it or you don’t.
It’s either helping you,
or it’s getting in the way.
It is in your actions, 
not just what you say.
Love is black and or white.
There are no shades of grey.
Love is all encompassing.
There's enough to go around most certainly.
But don’t go around giving away your recipe.
Indiscriminately.
Love is best au natural.
It’s beautiful to watch it in
another’s gaze.
I’ve seen a lot of could be, 
would belove just fade.

Love is not a faze.
There is no expiration, but you might miss the call.
Love meets people where they are.
Love is all of a sudden or not at all.
