Accidents happen.

Car crash, falling debris

Tripped on an uneven pavement

Scraping a knee

Different kinds of accidents

3 things are said to be causing them.

They say,

First is, “I didn’t think.”

Second, “I didn’t see.”

And third,

“I didn’t know.”

I can attest to this.

For I’ve been in one.

First, I didn’t think.

I didn’t think that meeting you

Would lead to the start.

The start of my sleepless nights,

Shortness of breath,

And heartbeats suddenly surging ahead.

Second, I didn’t see.

I didn’t see that you’ll have that effect on me.

You

Who I never really noticed.

You

Who I hadn’t interacted with.

You

Who I didn’t find interesting back then.

Most importantly,

I didn’t know.

I didn’t know that I was already drawn to you.

To your eyes,

Your smile

And the way you think about life.

Before I knew it.

I was already in an accident.

For I’ve accidentally fallen in love

With you.
