When you stop looking for love
it will come looking for you.
Or, at least, that’s what they say.
What I wonder is
if you don’t reach out a hand,
how will someone know that you want them to take it?
And if you don’t wear your heart on your sleeve,
how will people know that you’re not afraid they’ll break it?
It isn’t just fate that plays a part
in your love story,
it’s you, too.
And yes,
if you give your love away like extra change,
you may end up a penny left out in the rain.
But how will you know
whether or not you get a happy ending
if you sit up in your tower,
like a damsel in distress,
and wait for your knight in shining armor,
who might just be waiting for you, too.
