Sunset Rainbow

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…

Marriage Proposal - Rome

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”
