A fictional poem of a couple.
She sat at the table
With pen in hand
Wondering if he’d ever
Give her a wedding band
He seemed so distant
These past few months
As if something had changed
Not as it was once
No matter how she tried
She just couldn’t get through
Night after night she cried
As he withdrew
“Is it my fault?” she wondered
But couldn’t think why
She did the best she could
She just loved that guy
As the days drew on
And the nights ticked away
She felt more forlorn
With each passing day
Then suddenly one day
He came up to her
Bent down on his knee
Her mind went a blur
“Will you marry me?”
He asked with a great big smile
Could this be happening?
She thought for a while
Yes! She shouted
As she jumped to her feet
The man she had doubted
Had just been so sweet
But you’ve been so distant
Not close at all
He knew in an instant
He had to tell all
He told of his working extra hard
He made extra money
As the nighttime security guard
Now it all seemed so funny
She thought all at once
He was thinking of her after all
She felt like a dunce
He placed the ring on her finger
It fit just right
She wanted this day to linger
Right into the night
He went out of his way
To get her that ring
She felt more than words could say
This was no longer a fling
