THE CHASE

True love arrives mostly by chance,
sometimes by a well-thought-out plan,
and other times in the most unexpected situations.

You find yourself enjoying your quiet solitude—happy, independent, and whole.
Then, she creeps in, taking over your space.

You try so hard to chase her away,
Because she demands so much,
Even the things you would normally deny yourself.

All day long, she keeps encroaching.
She showers you with her attention.
You try to appear unbothered.

But the moment her attention shifts, you worry.
Yes, you worry so deeply that she no longer cares.

The space where solitude was once your sanctuary
suddenly feels overwhelmingly empty.

Then, your heart aches in the absence of her voice.
Your senses fail you in the absence of her scent.

You must run now—as fast as your heels can carry you—to go and look for her.
For she is all that your heart requires.
