Every 'encounter' took on a different flavor

We never knew what would occur, or how things would unfold

We had stopped planning our time spent together long ago, finding that it was better to just let things happen

Without very many expectations, we allowed the time to just flow into whatever it held for us

As with every 'encounter', it had its ups and downs

We had to 'rebound' quickly from the downs that occurred, and again we were able to accomplish this, as difficult as it was sometimes

As our time together came to a close, as it always does...

We had again experienced a very satisfying encounter, everything had fallen into place - as the pieces in a puzzle - they fit

Like a rose that comes to life at times then becomes dormant

It anticipates the rain it needs to sustain itself

It waits until the next reawakening

In the candle I had placed many feelings

To keep safe and warm

Then I blew out the candle

Only to re-light it, when I again wished for them to reappear
