When Love Arrives
by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye

I knew exactly what love looked like – in seventh grade.
Even though I hadn’t met love yet,
if love had wandered into my homeroom,
I would’ve recognized him at first glance (love wore a hemp necklace).
I would’ve recognized her at first glance (love wore a tight French braid).
Love played acoustic guitar and knew all my favorite Beatles songs.
Love wasn’t afraid to ride the bus with me.

...

I don't want you to love me because I'm good for you, because I say and do all the right things. Because I am everything you have been looking for.

I want to be the one you didn't see coming. The one who gets under your skin. Who makes you unsteady. Who makes you question everything you have ever believed about love. Who makes you feel reckless and out of control. The one you are infuriatingly and inexplicably drawn to.

I don't want to be the one who tucks you ...
