Overdue

CHELSEA

He's sexy, smart, and undeniably irresistible.
After one night alone in a storm,
One thing is certain.
This older man is everything I have ever wanted.
And everything I can never have.

But his loss is so raw,
So real,
And so deep,
He can't give me what I really need.


DEAN

Pain and loss,
I know them all too well.
After tragedy strikes,
I have no interest in suffering that kind of loss.
Ever again.

The pull of a young, fiery, red-headed librarian,
Gives me reason to want to live again.
Feel again.
And quite possibly love again.

After all, it's been long overdue.
