Not knowing 
whether you would stay 
 
(or not)                
 
still you instinctively thrust 
a clean pair of knickers 
 
in your bag 
as you left 
 
in case of 
accidently  
 
Love finding you 
out. 
 
And true 
to your intuition 
 
Love 
finds where 
 
your heart 
is hiding 
 
& you stand there 
 
a clean pair of knickers 
clasped tightly in your hand.
