A shared connection saw them brought together. By accident, by no intention of their own, but lives crossed paths all the same.
It took so long for them to even say hello. Continuous conversation grew slowly, and a real relationship required sorrow as soil. Growth came as time went by.
But now it's good- perhaps even better than good; a little sweetness within each word.
Maybe, if given a little nudge, it could be something new.
My 2024 Valentine's Day special. Enjoy!
