It Must Be

It must be
The way I looked at her
                            Or
The way “Hello” croaked

She must have been
Having a bad day
                            Or
Didn’t    about something    get her way

It must be
The way I dressed
                            Or 
The gravy stain on my vest

It might have been
Something in her eye made her close her eye
Screw up her face    and    cry
“GET LOST!”

Is it me?
It must be

The poem has nothing to do with Beethoven, opus 135
