Maybe - POTD

Maybe I was too terse with my replies,
     But that was the way I was made.
     I have no fervour to apologise.

Maybe I should have dated you so much more,
     Heck, could a leopard change its spots?
     I always was like that.

Maybe I should have whispered sweet nothings,
     Like I love you dear, my sweet.
     But that was not actually me.

Maybe I should have kissed you more,
     But mine were just mere pecks,
     Like hens kissing each other.

Maybe I should phone you immediately
     But that would be surrendering to my faults.
     Yet I was not an arrogant man.

Maybe that was her ringing my doorbell,
     I opened the door for her.
     Tears streaming down her cheeks.

Maybe a moonlight shone from outside
     And blinded me, so I hugged her.
     Our kiss on the lips lasted so long.

There is no maybe now or ever, for we 
     Will plight our vows with love
     Forever.

Looks like she broke you down eventually Victor, as indeed all good women do, not by nagging, but by sheer feminine sensuality, congratulations on yet another super POTD, cheers David
