Don’t Wait. {Poem}

Don’t wait.

Please don’t.
I did for years,
Maybe lifetimes,
I’m not sure.

And then—

One day,
I stopped waiting;
I crossed.

I know I’ll cross again
And again
In the days
And the decades to come

But—

I think I’ve learned
Not to wait
Anymore

Because—

There are too many experiences
To be had
And too many people
To experience them with

Don’t you see?

Love is dangling,
Dripping from every moment
Just waiting
Waiting
For us to cross over
And pick it up.

Don’t wait.
It’s right here
All of it

Don’t wait.
Take my hand
Cross with me…
