You have met perfection
and so, don't expect to again,
not by chance - you know
how long it takes, to run into it
that way.

And so you say
you don't expect it. But you're sad
when it doesn't show up, secretly
you think "How hard can it be?
To get it right! For me." Someone

has shown the way, and forever
you know what perfection tastes like.
You don't expect it, but
willing to be surprised,
now that you know the possible

you look for it and ask. And

they bring you this. It is just
ok, it is good enough, if
you hadn't known. You smile, sad
and enjoy what you can,
which is mostly good.

And maybe it's time to try
new things. For now. You don't want

to live in the past.
