HOW ARE THINGS IN YOUR WORLD? PROMPT 22


I remember that day we first met?
The first look--our eyes locked
Embraced in the trances of true love
The day we walked hand in hand at the park
Magic held us to know each others thoughts
The day we both said,"No one could ever take us apart."
Young love, true love that would last forever
I remember how brokenhearted I was the day
That awful hurting day you said,"We should see others!"
That you needed your space to see others
To test to see if I really was the only one
After I saw you with each of the guys
I felt useless, alone, unwanted depressed!
Two weeks earlier I would not have looked beyond you
But I had to wash aside the tears of hurt
Standing in front of me the most beautiful girl
I don't know how it happened as she walked by
Asked why I was so sad and so depressed
I couldn't tell her it was getting over you
But guess what--our eyes locked!
She said she had been with other guys
But none like me--I hope you don't mind
Keep the ring--maybe use it with the next guy
I would want her ring to be special for her anyway
By the way, I haven't noticed you dating, How's
It going with you in your world, met anyone new?

In college this was a happening. The new girl.
Oh, we celebrated our fiftieth going on fiftyone
How are things in your world--Forgot her name
Last time I saw her was across the room staring
Just as the girl in prompt 22
