Love leaps forward

Usually if I keep talking, eventually love leaps forward.

I know

When the first words

Out of my mouth are

I shouldn*t have to…

My best self

Is not the one

Speaking.

Usually the word that follows

Is

Apologize.

After all it*s not my fault

As fault goes

I shouldn*t have to…

Mostly waits

For someone else

To go first.

Even when

I shouldn*t have to…

Jumps out of my mouth

I know my best self

Is not the one

Speaking.

Then I hope and pray

For other words.

I know if I keep speaking

Eventually

Love leaps forward.
