For You

"P E R H A P S after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps....perhaps...love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath..."

This is my favorite quote ever taken from the series Anne of Green Gables. I know it's corny and all poetic, but think about it. And if you've been hurt by a knight...maybe even many knights who just seem to show off every one of their good qualities except for the real ones, then listen to this.

You may be looking for love.
You might say that you're not, but subconsciously you always are
and you know it.
But if you think about it, maybe love is trying to find you
But it can't
Because you keep missing each other rushing from place to place
Sometimes you think you see love
But it turns out to be a complete stranger
But the good thing is... when you finally slow down enough to wait for love
He'll catch up with you
Maybe he was that person who sat on a bench with his back to you
As you sat at the train station waiting
Or maybe he'll be the one anxiously checking the train schedule everyday
Just the same as you
As if he's trying to meet up with someone too
And then that day will come when love will sidle up next to you
On your bench
And you'll say "I've seen you before"
But I never realized that you were here before.
And as you wait for his reply, no matter how mundane
the sound of the trains fades away
