Alone again



A spring in my step

With a broad smile on my face

I went to meet her

 

The depth of her smile

Like the warm sun on my face

Would put me at ease

 

At our coffee shop

She was so late as usual

But I was relaxed

 

Always trusting her

I made a sugar pack heart

And waited for her

 

I looked at her eyes

And knew it was the last time

Could I endure it?

 

Now I was on the

The sad road to destruction

And alone again

  1. They say it's better to have loved and lost, but you describe so well that moment when one wonders if putting one's heart out there is such a good idea.

  2. Oh, Robin, and he had the heart-shaped bunch of sugars and everything. I hate when love lingers and then leaves. But I do love being in love, and today is Lex's and my 15th! So our sugar packets are in good order... Amy

  3. Yes..the sugar pack heart is an enduring image..the moment before the last moment is that harder than the moment after? If that makes sense..such a rich piece of work..

  7. If she's going to break up with you, the least she could do is be on time.
