Rushing To Love

The world moves love in a hurry, yet to invest heavily
without your own heart's stamp of approval leads to nothing
but one more piece of your soul broken off. 

So why give in to expectations made of you? 
Why hurry love if it is the one thing that should
simmer until boiling? 
Will it come early or late in life? 
Allow fate to lead the front for awhile if your tired of searching. 
Of if you have found it but don't realize it, don't let it slip
away but do not smother it to ashes.

The time will be right as your heart meets the light.
