in even the least lovely of weather
try if at all possible to stay together
in the sand you wrote
'Be Mine Forever?'
I grinned my yes
and said hooray!
then the sun quietly walked us back
home
you left me for another the very next
day
Happily ever afters are such a bust
or rather you are too fickle
for such a gushing declaration's
display
oh, and the sun wanted me to tell you
it hates you too by the way...........
