As Time Seeps By Part Two

(continued from part one) At first he ignores her, refuses to care But his heart is open, the love is there He is refined, conservative and well mannered She is spunky, life full and somewhat to be desired Her dress is well modern but her eyes glaze with fire She's tempting to him but he refuses the desire As time goes by he can not think His career suffers for want of this girl But deep inside he knows he cannot have the two worlds The corporation gives him a vacation There in the Florida sun he sees the one She's laughing and happy, she's full of joy She recognizes him and ask if he's having fun? "I don't like fun" He replies She glares at him with her green eyes He consents and off they went Into a world he has never before known A world of laughter, dancing and romance A world of openness, love feelings enhanced But like all dreams it must end Back to work he must begin His friends and family begin to tease Their business wonder is not at ease Daydreams and empty glances at the window "Who is she?" "Are you going to marry her?" Questions always asked At last he decides to begin the task He found her again, kissed her deeply from within For her hand in marriage he did ask His happiness unbounded when she answered yes The emptiness that had haunted him had left him at last He brought her home but then it ended The world had deserted him, his heart tormented "She's a whore! Low class! Not good enough!" "She wants your money! Don't be a fool!" "My son if you marry her we will disown you!" "We only want what's best for you and she..." Friends family and business career Put pressures on him he could not endure The two worlds clashed violently The emptiness re-emerged At a bar they did meet, late at night It was dim and deserted much like his life He looked at her and held her hand She looked at him and softly smiled "I love you but..." words linger on and on Her face begin to swell, tears faded from her eyes She slipped her hand from his, she got up to leave Then turned around she looked at him With a glare he will never forget A face hurt, a face used, a face betrayed A face embedded into his mine forever to stay Not a word did she say but turned and walked away He went back to his old world of loneliness "Good for you, we told you she was no good" "I'm happy for you son. You made the right decision" "Your better without her. You'll find someone else..." (Continued As Time Seeps By part three)
