Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

You Love Who You Love Who You Love

Love comes at inopportune times
It slides in sneakily 
and grabs you by your leg hairs.

You might be out of practice
Cupid might be barking up the wrong tree
So you send him away

Knowing if it is love 
Someone will prove it to you
Somehow

Besides you have been hurt before
What if he is one of those?
What if he takes another piece of you?

Is it worth the risk?
No one can tell you.
But I know one thing

You love who you love who you love
And when it happens 
No one can slow it down

It comes in like a freight train
Sweeping you into a frenzy
That you would have never wanted to miss

So when you are ready
Fall in love gladly.
It happens rarely.

Gershon Wolf May 5, 2019 at 9:26 PM Sounds like a Luke Combs line from "I Believe that People are Good..." ~ gw Caren Krutsinger May 6, 2019 at 4:56 PM Hahahaha And I do believe that people are good also.
