Slow burn

Fools rush in
As the saying goes
Leading to worries
Troubles and woes
Fools race in
And never learn
Don't they know
It's better a slow burn

Don't get to know them
Take what you see
Simply at face value
So easily
Don't get to understand them
Each opportunity you spurn
Don't you know
It's better a slow burn

Take your time
Write a rhyme
Let it happen casually
Don't force the pace
It's not a race
It'll come gradually
This can't be planned
Something so grand
And more importantly
If it comes through
You'll know it's true
And it was meant to be

Stop, look, and listen
Breathe in every scent
Make sure not a moment
Is wasted or misspent
For getting under the skin
Really makes the heart yearn
Then you'll know
It's better a slow burn
