| Happenstanceby Joanne Marisa LeowHow can it be
 even in the wildest of your dreams
 
 that loving me
 
 makes you consider
 
 (even for the briefest moment)
 
 leaving her
 
 
 (after six years for six weeks)
 
 
 i  cannot believe that.
 
 
 and although i delude myself
 
 into sharing intimate moments
 
 with you,
 
 (phones ring)
 
 i realise
 
 they
 
 are not mine at all to share
 
 not mine at all
 
 
 and as loving is not wanting
 
 (or trying not to)
 
 in your eyes
 
 
 i am far from wise
