He Was Never a Sure Bet

I introduced my fiancé to my best friend. Knowing they would not get along at all. I was the one not happy in the end. For their love affair was not a bit small. They both dumped me quickly. They were a twosome, so slickly. I had no idea this would be the case. But their romance took a rapid pace. My wedding was off, and hers was in full swing. A six year engagement broken off, he took my ring. She never wore it; he got her a much better one. It took me a while to see he would have been no fun. He never had these deep crazy feelings for me. I was the one who wanted a wedding to be. I sit in silence and stare at a lone cigarette. Not willing to admit he was never a sure bet.

Hmmm...methinks you are better off without this jerk, and after a six-year engagement, you say? Wow!

This was for a writing contest - I was never engaged more than a couple of months.
