Happenstance

Steady your heart.
Take reins of it.

Do not burst into a blossom, like the way you do when you hear from him and receive his texts or pictures or instant messages.

Do not find the comfort of waking up in a sea of blankets warmed by spring morning light, like the way you do when he tells you he understands and reassures your decisions and promises never to hurt you and to always be there for you.

Do not glow like a star, like the moon, like Stella and Luna of the sky, like hope, like happiness, like wonders, like the way you do when he knows your beauty, bids you goodnight, be present by your side as you fall asleep, fondly, in spirit.

Do not be as certain as the mountain before me, like when you can feel the vibrance of his life touches yours through the distance, when he tells you how he feels about you and when your heart opens up because you feel the same way he does.

Do not sway like Ponderosa in spring breeze, like when you feel something special may be happening between you and him.

Far too dangerous to step out into the sun of assumptions to be dried out by disappointment when you realize you are the only one diving into the sunlight.

But when the sun shines on you,
what can you do?
