Remember when we first met,
Inside a busy wet market,
You stood holding your pet,
I, looking for my wallet.
I asked you what was wrong,
My query was like a love song,
You said nothing and went along,
Your rejection was too strong.
My heart rumbled like thunder,
I felt differently, I did wonder,
You kept my mind to ponder,
Is this love like no other?
We met again in the park,
At late sunset, before dark,
You hello was the spark,
I knew then I hit the mark.
We were a happy couple,
Our relationship so simple,
Yet a big fight was a sample,
One day there was trouble.
Remember I gave you a cat,
A present that began a spat,
Foolish of me to forget that,
Your lovable pet was a ‘rat.’
I was sorry, you forgave me,
Paid the price for my insanity,
I gave away the cat for free,
I was allowed to stay, happy.
It’s almost like that O’Henry story, Gift of the Magi, but one sided. good poem, good rhyme, good story and lesson.
Thanks. 🙂
I need to catch up on my reading. I’ll drop by soon. 🙂
