his mind declined to answer
sadly it had happened again
he let slip the open chance
he tried to keep his chin up
in vain efforts of maintaining
some form of authority
he could not even wrap it up
there was no finality
when given the chance
he could have tried
he towered over the rest
when at his best
but he burned the
goodness this time around
he could only manage to
breathe out some light greetings
before he began to stammer
his heart was open ever so expecting
her heart failed to see the overtures
his mind cluttered and his words muddled
she could guess his attempts
his body language said so
the ring was safely in his grips
but still in his pocket!
to think this was the second attempt
he could not make the connection
why was it so difficult to pop
the six-million dollar question
and slip it on?.

ReplyDeleteI hope he managed to say something, and I hope she understood--and they connected!
So hard to reach across the vast expanse of 'what if?' and make the connection! I too hope he succeeded...
ReplyDeleteUh Oh ... what could the matter be?
ReplyDeleteI hope he finds a way to speak his heart. Make the connection happen.
ReplyDeleteIt's a two way connection that can only be achieved by meeting halfway!💝
ReplyDeleteSometimes just have to take a breath and do it
