He is still at a loss
He thought he had it made
It all seemed too easy
None as to be that complicated
She had said ‘yes’
He had known her
that long
Now this!
Why?
Why did she change her mind?
Standing at the crossroads
This is a challenge
He has learnt that much
about her to know her
He has to bid his time
He has to give her time
It is only fair
She had gone through so much herself
He had not been that easy a guy
to be with
It was easy before
But not now
He’ll be fair
He’ll give in this time
Afterall Mom knows best!

ReplyDeleteGreat surprise ending! Will have to share this with my kids!
ReplyDeleteClever ending, and so often it is true! Some things are not to be forced, but must be allowed to unfold.
ReplyDeleteyes, the twist was perfect...naturally I thought it was his girl and you are right Moms usually do know what's best.
