Re: Serendipity
Magnolia,
I hate to burst your bubble, but there’s no such thing as perfect timing.
Perfection is an illusion, as is time.
Manmade. A synthetic coping mechanism.
I don’t like to bet on fate or circumstance. I bet on experience. Reality. Things that are tangible and proven.
That’s probably why I’m forever wilting.
You say I wrote you back at the perfect time, but maybe you were just searching for something to cling to in that moment—a reason to make a comeback.
That’s not fate or aligning stars. That’s all you.
Give yourself some credit.
