Loving someone at the timing that life just isn’t timing.

Right Person, Wrong Time


Sometimes love shows up
wearing the right face
with the wrong clock.


You meet someone
who feels like home—
their laugh fits your silence,
their arms feel like somewhere
you could finally rest.


But life…
life doesn’t always open the door
when love knocks.


So the right person
passes through your story
like a season that came
before the world was ready
for spring.


And sometimes
it’s the wrong person
who stays just long enough
to teach you
what love should never feel like.


They leave behind lessons
written in sleepless nights,
in tears you swore
you’d never cry again.


Right person, wrong time.
Wrong person, right lesson.


And somewhere between the two
you learn
that love isn’t just about who—
it’s also about when.
