Allowing

The more I resisted, the harder it became to let go
To finally allow love and patience to take over
My heart pulled in one direction while my mind pulled in another
Having my way in love or to think what it should be may not be the right one
Dictating situations to what I thought was feasible and fitting
Wasn't merely enough to prepare me for the emotions to come
Thereafter, before or during, I'd run into someone
Who'd put me on edge in the most admiring and sedulous way
Putting me in a place to open me once again to vulnerability
This time allowing me to fall deeply in love without any second thought
I pray when it reaches it's final destination that I will allow it
Breathe it, consume it and be reassured that this is the one
