Timing

The too-long pause
awkward by definition
and waiting without purpose

Lord, give my mind
the strength to love
when I'd as soon turn away

There, there...

get some rest now
tomorrow will wait
while you turn again

Timing is what someone else has not me.
Wonderful, Steve

Best wishes

floots - nicely said - thank you :)

annie - some people seem to have it, don't they? It's a skill or a gift or something like that. I'm more familiar with awkward, I think. (how many other words have a "wkw" sequence in them?)

My words are so often badly timed, they produce the opposite of love. Hits home!!

Awww! This is moving.

pat - I sure don't claim to be especially good at it, either. Can be impressive to see someone else do it well, though.

aurora - thank you :)
