welcomed unexpected

I got something the other day
It was a welcomed unexpected
It was new yet familiar
Had feelings stirring in me that I thought were dead
It made me nervous
Because I thought that part of me was on hiatus
Unreachable and not worth bothering with
And then the welcomed unexpected arrived
Knocking me off my feet
Leaving me to pace the floor and seek advice
Analyzing questions, words, and actions
Wondering if I was ready to start THAT journey again
Forcing myself to back off and give the unexpected back
Trying to convince myself that I wasn’t ready for that yet
It is a much needed breath of fresh air
But I might stick to my oxygen tank
Cuz sometimes it’s safer to watch the action than be apart of it
The welcomed unexpected
Bringing back the familiar…
