I didn’t

even know what I was looking for when I stumbled into you that day.

I wasn’t looking and I wasn’t trying to fall for someone, in fact I wasn’t really interested in adding anyone new to my life.

I was happy with the people I had in my life and I just barely had time for them and now you walked in and pushed more space into my life because you wanted to be around.

You demanded my time and well I gave it to you and the little bits of time to myself became few.

And in that moment when I just felt overwhelmed because, I had so much coming my way that I just didn’t want to accept that this was the way my life was now and for good.

I couldn’t breath anymore because there was no moment where I just was with myself and could just relax and stop moving.

Time was moving by so fast that I realized I had wasted so much time but, not when it came to you.

But, the situation to fix my life had to start with me and well I have no clue how to save myself.

I didn’t stop to think that maybe you were the answers to all my questions and solutions if only I had asked you sooner.

Things would have been so much more different because, I wasted so much time not seeking your help where it counts in the end.

Maybe my story does end with a happy ending as long as I open up to you everything that seemed impossible will be possible for me from now on.
