The Ending

 

A text arrived. “can we meet tonight?”

rapidly I replied “Off course, i’d love to”

I was madly in Love, therefore blinded

with a glowing heart and beaming smile I set off.

 

“This is my dad” introducing me on my arrival

“Nice to meet you”. the first meeting since we started dating

when we entered her house, things were different

no embracing hug or kiss. Still I did not see!

 

Sitting down next to me, her quietness confused me

No eye contact and a soft voice, “This isn’t working out”

not quite the whole it’s not you, It’s me scenario

dumbfounded and devastated. Did i hear that right?

 

Both of us were adults, yet i felt like a little boy.

Heart broken and fully aware it was over, not a break.

Any other dialogue is a blur, well, my side of the coin

leaving for the last time, she gently pressed a kiss on my Cheek

 

Sitting in my car with my head down on the steering wheel

tears freely flowing. I didn’t move for twenty minutes

it was then I realised, I was so blinded by love

with my guard down, The ending shattered a fragile heart.
