    The Collector

    Today, I stumbled upon something that i really had to have.
    In my eyes it was precious, and i figured i was the only one who should have it.
    So i bought it and stored it with my collectables.
    But it didn’t fit in with the other ones.
    This one was the best one i have ever seen.
    For weeks, i pondered taking it out of the box and playing with it.
    But i was afraid to damage something so precious.
    Months go by and it’s still there, i came by often just to watch it and admire its beauty.
    But now i feel like I’m ready.
    I feel mature enough to handle things that are fragile.
    so i decided to take it out the box and hold it, love it , admire it, show it how much it means to me by spending time with it..............................................................................................
    And that’s exactly how i feel about him.
    My collectable that i have left on the shelf for fall to long.
    If he is ready to come out of the box, he should know I am older, wiser, and more mature to be there if he would let me.

    I enjoyed this one very much.The analogies were right on point. Waiting until the right time to enter a relationship is a very mature attitude. It shows growth and wisdom. Great write.......E

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
