It Could Be You

I see how she is going to be.
Another repetition of our history.

The drama with sister Roni,
Could happen to anybody.

When you call me on the phone,
My undivided attention is shown.

I take an interest in your day,
I am here for you come what may.

Send me a text, I said,
With disregard, she went to bed instead.

you fail to get back to me, not occasionally,
But ten times three.

You get what you give in this relationship,
I’m done with the courtship.

If you have not the time to answer me,
This relationship is a bust, I do decree.

Rev. says something to me being of that pettigree. But as relationships go this is normal. I have to say "Move on." and as they say "Let not your heart be troubled"

Sometimes one must know thy friend. Some are BFFs…some a one-timer, some are once in a blue moon. I loved this one book I read called “Girlfriends”

Thank you Gordon for appreciating my getting real. I had to write this poem so I could put her away.
