He asked her if she’d marry him
And she said, “sorry, no –”
The sun went down upon the beach
And he stood up to go
For this is love: it is the leap
With no hope of protection —
And sunset rainbows lovely are,
But cannot change
Rejection

I Wrote A Story In My Head…
The way that I imagined this
We’d be in Italy
And when the proper moment came
I’d get down on one knee
And I would ask you if you would
And you’s say (crying) “Yes.”
But something happened to my dream
That I could not have guessed
I wrote a story in my head
Of how all this would go
But you did something else, instead
When you said “no” – just “no”
