Romance & Reality

You didn’t buy the flowers.

Yes, you made reservations.

And complimented my beauty.

Held my hand,

And opened doors.

But surely you didn’t like me.

Surely you didn’t mean it.

Because…

You didn’t buy me flowers.

Yes, the gesture is small,

But yet…

You dropped the ball.

And now I contemplate it all

Because surely,

You don’t value me

At the level that I deserve.

Because, well…

You didn’t buy me flowers.

And it’s unfortunate…

For you.

Discerningly yours,

Analise
