I for Integrity

Looks like he's not coming at all!
No, couldn’t be. He was all too happy
in the afternoon. He even reminded me
Yes, he had graciously invited me
‘A dinner if you may?’ a week a ago

and I had relented
Not that I lack dinner invitations
My admirers are aplenty
I’m fairly good looking. 

Better than most But why?
Why must he do this to me?

He had been most polite. He chose his words
well. He wasn’t pushy, nor was I obnoxious
We talked informally, I mean how much you
need to when inviting someone out
Sure, I could  play hard to get
We’re mature enough to act as adults
I thought the evening was made

I told him not to pick me up
As he had to come all the way
and back again. It was more convenient
for my sister to drop me here

I know better now!

There must be some reasons
It is not like him
Does he lack frankness, 

a conscience a guilt feel

Big or small honesty 

will touch the sensitivities

Integrity is supreme

I just wonder!
