The Ignored Pages

She gave me her book to read

The one I had longed for so long.

But as she left me with it

And I stared down at the page,

I found I could not turn from the exposed page

For fear of what I’d find.

I had fallen for the pages she chose to show me

Stubbornly ignoring the rest.

Now she feels naked—

I just feel like a fool.

Fall is in the air–it’s weird how you can just feel it.  Fall is usually my pairing up season.  Looks like it may not be this year.  I really don’t mind–the lovey-dovey feelings of last week have since passed, and now I’m comfortably numb.  Whatever happens happens–I’m in no hurry.  I really need to get my friends to set me up with somebody since they seem to know so much better than I do.  Theres an interesting idea–it’d be like “Married by America” minus the marriage and the whole country.  People, hook me up with somebody!
