On waiting

I hate anticipation
so much that this one time I went to the dentist
to get my braces taken off- mind you
it's been a year and a half since
the last time the doctor told me to take it off.
When I arrived at the clinic the doctor told me
to wait until the end of the year.
I was filled with so much resentment. Pissed to the core.
I was holding my middle finger down like it was a gun.
Holding my words back just so I wouldn't put
that bullet in his gullet and Morrissey him to his end.
But instead, I clenched my fist, said okay
and left.

I get disappointed by the littlest things like
the third rescheduling of my dentist appointment

Now imagine how much pain I endured waiting,
anticipating for you to come back.

Love is like

Your favorite place to eat

You want people to like it 

But at the same time you want them to stay away so that you could have it all to yourself. Or at least shorten the queue to the counter.

But you choose to let it be because if people stay away the place would go out of business and would no longer be able to operate.

Love is not about doing what you want it's about doing what's best for you and the other person. Sometimes even just the other person. But that's love and that's what makes it so powerful.
