In sheer desire to reach the destination,
We conveniently miss listening to our intuition,
An alert that something isn’t right,
Like a flare found just before a stop light.
Yet we stay the course at top speed,
Ignoring the warning to heed.

Even with the best laid out maps,
The universe will deliver unforeseen mishaps,
Slight detours can add additional time,
And that is just fine.
Take in the view,
You may learn a thing or two,
As you wouldn’t want to reach a dead end,
And have to start all over again.

The relationship journey isn’t meant to be a race,
But rather meant to be explored at an enjoyable pace.
