Ten-Minute Writing - July 30, 2019

​I wonder what it’s like to be in love.
Have you been?
I wonder what it’s like to be all in?
Have you been?

I’ve hunted and I’ve chased
I’ve wooed and I’ve cajoled
But I’ve never opened up
And met that one I call my own.

I dream and I play
I scheme and though I may
I’ve never given myself
To that one til end of days

I wonder where I am today
Or where I’ll be in the morning
I hike my pants and brush the seam
Wave goodbye like you never saw me

Pull up the covers, with a quiet kiss
Say I’ll call but it’s just the play
You know my name, I caught yours
I’m out the door and on my way.
