Ride of a Lifetime

Love is a rollercoaster.
It is the biggest one, in fact.
It is the ride everyone waits in line for.

You swore you’d never give it a chance.
All your friends told you
“It’s worth the wait.”
But you kicked and screamed
And vowed to stay safe on the carousel.

But once you live through
The wonder.
The twists
And turns
And loops.

You couldn’t ever imagine life
Without the experience,
The tingling thrill,
Of that first fall.
