Poem
When I was young, I fantasized of the girl I’d like to find: A certain look, a sense of style, enlightened education, Alluring eyes, a charming smile, and some sophistication. But over time I realized she was only in my mind. Lonely years passed, I compromised, and left my dream behind. Met some with looks, others with style—even sophistication. But I never could find, through error and trial, just the right combination. Just existing, I felt demoralized, in a sorry state of mind. One day by chance, I met this girl…sort of what I had in mind. The way she looked, I realized, just fit my illustration— As if the dream I’d idolized was brought into creation. What could I say, to meet the girl that I’d always hoped to find? Pardon the clichés, but I have to say “Where have you been all my life?” I know we’ve just met, and you don’t know me yet, But what are you doing the rest of your life? She rolled her eyes, but then she smiled, as she seemed to see the light. We talked a while, then talked some more; got her address and her phone. Since then I’ve seen her a whole lot more. I no longer felt alone. When I proposed, she said with a smile “I think I’ve found my ‘Mister Right’ . Pardon the clichés, but I have to say “Where have you been all my life?” I know we’ve just met, and you don’t know me yet, But what are you doing the rest of your life?
