Reality

In my hurry to get to you
I stumbled over
Wave upon wave
Of emotion
I had to get to you
No running for cover
Love is enough
An eternal ocean
But in my haste to get to you
I ignored one thing
Until I stood
Face to face
With reality
And then I knew
Without pondering
What I would do…
For love can never erase
The ‘after you’…
And, you see
For every emotion
Wild and free
None can replace
Or ever will be
Worthy of love
Without loyalty
