Look Both Ways

Look Both Ways

By Annette Camp

March 24, 2024

When I 

saw her, I 

swiped right.

For chatting?

Friendship?

Something casual

or long-term

relationship?

My only focus:

that smile and

those blue eyes.

Attraction is

so much more

than physical.

Little did I 

really know.

It wasn't about

beauty really,

but a journey.

It was about

connection, 

exploration, 

adventure, 

and love. 

Daily choosing

to love another

unconditionally.

A loving 

unconventional 

relationship. 

No boxes 

or labels.

It was a daily

choice. Until

it wasn't. 

I've learned to

ask more questions,

and look both ways,

multiple times,

before crossing 

the street.
