A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link to it in the comments. Thank you, Sammi, for hosting!
The One You Love
She
knew it from the beginning
He
was clueless
She was his patient cheerleader
loving him
Hoping
he would realise
resistance was futile
When he did
They felt they began
anew
A Dalectable Life 
Q,
This is a triumph, of words and love and spirit. In thirty one magical words that you have woven into a beautiful tapestry stitched together with time and love and knowing, just knowing.
This is wonderful. No, it’s way more than wonderful.
Now you have ME without words. 🙂
I love this.

B,
Thank you so much. Sometimes you just have to have faith that it’ll all come together. It takes time and the knowing part seems to come after.
So, wonderful, eh?
I am marking the calendar to celebrate the day I left YOU without words.
I love that you love this,
Q

The knowing part does seem to come after, doesn’t it? Oh the irony to such a thing.
You’re NOT going to get me to say it again. I do have the ability not to stutter, or repeat myself. It’s magical. See? I didn’t say . . that word!
And dang if you ain’t got proof! Time stamped and everything.
I love this. So much.

Yep. Proof is in the ‘Press

I have to agree with Frank. For it is a proven fact that men will fall at first sight, while women take longer. Which I take as proof that women have oodles more sense than men 🙂

I enjoyed the poem and have no problem accepting that he was clueless. Though I might agree that often the he does fall first and just seems to know; saving cluelessness for further along in the relationship.

Glad you did, D! It could even be that he did fall first but resisted admitting it for whatever reason (And I agree, by the way, the guy usually does first !)
