Just when I had things figured out
You came along and you
Shook things up.
I had my viewpoint organized,
Then you made me see a
Parallel Life.

Writing these dangerous words…
Having these dangerous thoughts…
It’s OK….if I hide them away?

The heart has a way of jumping
To conclusions
On its own.
How far to take these feelings…
They may never find
their way back home!

Speaking these dangerous words.
Thinking these dangerous thoughts.
It’s all right…if I keep them confined?

Just when I had things figured out
You came along and you
Shook me up.
I thought I had settled down,
I thought I was immune.

Signing off for now.
Turning off the light.
I’ll be dreaming of my
Parallel Life.
