Denim

Frayed

Tattered

Ripped

That denim lying on the floor

Thread

Needle

Thimble

Sewing to make it whole

Patches

Embroidery

Flaps

Covering the flaws

But..

What once was perfect

Cannot be mended

Don’t try to do anything more.

Accidents happen.

Car crash, falling debris

Tripped on an uneven pavement

Scraping a knee

Different kinds of accidents

3 things are said to be causing them.

They say,

First is, “I didn’t think.”

Second, “I didn’t see.”

And third,

“I didn’t know.”

I can attest to this.

For I’ve been in one.

First, I didn’t think.

I didn’t think that meeting you

Would lead to the start.

The start of my sleepless nights,

Shortness of breath,

And heartbeats suddenly surging ahead.

Second, I didn’t see.

I didn’t see that you’ll have that effect on me.

You

Who I never really noticed.

You

Who I hadn’t interacted with.

You

Who I didn’t find interesting back then.

Most importantly,

I didn’t know.

I didn’t know that I was already drawn to you.

To your eyes,

Your smile

And the way you think about life.

Before I knew it.

I was already in an accident.

For I’ve accidentally fallen in love

With you.

We met. I cared. You left.
