Puppy Wisdom
After waiting months to run into her
You finally do
Shy
You say hi
Then open your door
Rushing to disappear
Hurrying to begin waiting again
—
But
Your puppy darts out
Runs to her
Paws at her
Jumps up on her
Forcing you to go to her
Talk to her
—
She is going for a walk
You say goodbye
And head back to your door
—
But
Your puppy
Runs after her
And into the elevator
Sits down beside her
—
A few laughs
More rushed words
Then
She descends alone
—
Your puppy in your arms
You close the door behind you
Both of you now waiting…
Full-on puppy-style waiting
For her
For next time

About the poem
Sometimes I just write down a funny story a friend tells me. Like this one. Why be shy? Just run up to her and befriend her if you want to! In each step, we act out of love or fear. Choose love! It’s just more fun!
