Why you?
Why me?
I ask myself this every day.
How did this happen?
What occurred to plunge me into this confusion?
This disbelief?
My emotions thrown into disarray.
What began in all innocence
Has blown out to a situation
Way beyond any expectation.
I thought I was beyond such things
My day long past
Content now in my world
No stresses, no responsibilities.
I recall your invitation
Would you mind?
Could we?
Ok why not.
Innocent enough.
The thrill of the chase
Just a game nothing more
All over by next week.
Then there was more
Another invite, more words
A question, then two.
Truths stated
Emotions peeked,
A miracle?
Fate?
I’m too old?
Now I long for you
And still I ask
Why me?
Why you?

You did bring out the bafflement and confusion Michael, entwined with a pinch of doubt. Well done.
Thank you Jenny, can be like that I imagine.

Thank you Kim I think there is too.

Thank you Oliana, happy you enjoyed this post.
Never too old only as old as you think though the body can argue however we start to not enjoy the games nor have the energy for it! X
Thank you Justine though it is all a matter of perspective. Thank you again for reading.
Ah, never too old for love, I think. Love is ageless and has no boundaries. I liked this one a lot Michael.
Thank you Jackie, age they say is just a number it’s what the mind says that gives us hope.
Wonderful take on the prompt – so real, so relatable!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Helen, sometimes stuff happens that surprises us and we never quite understand why.
Why not?
Love is ageless…
🙂
Thank you RoSy, do so agree with you.
Never too old for mature love. Games, however, one outgrows quickly if they are smart.
True Larry, one is never too old. Games are for children well the ones you are alluding to.
