One beat of a wing,
and a wave goes
over us all.
Step by step, we
take the path that
will lead us to
the same spot.
A love for a
hero book, a post
on a blog site,
one dm, two, more.
We talk more day
by day.
A game, a shy
word, a new face.
A new link.
Call it what you
want: fate or luck,
we fall in line.
We fall in Love.

Apologizing for No Reason: My Learned Habit
When I was growing up, I was taught to always say “sorry.” It was considered polite and a way to avoid getting noticed or punished. I did my best to be a good girl and stay out of trouble. Despite my efforts, the adults around me would still find something wrong and ask me to apologize. I didn’t realize I could stand up for myself because no one taught me that.

I'm surprised this doesn't have more likes! Your minimalist style in this works as a form of subtlety that just makes this all the better. Excellent work!!
