My Bachelorhood

These Pairs that move in the streets Always a lovely sight to behold Giggling and clutching their arms happily An air of romance encompass their lives With no one to cherish or confide in This young bachelor admires from a distance Reminiscing those lovely times And muttering the word “When” Those mistakes I made keep haunting my thoughts And my mind struggles to keep them out “Excuse me” – a young lady calls from behind “Have we met before” – She continues… My eyes glance at her entire being My mind relays the words… “Same old stuff” My body agrees, and departs without a single word This Bachelor will definitely be fulfilled And will be fulfilled by the right being

Hi there and welcome! Nice piece of writing Felix. Love how you seem to hint that this person has learnt hard lessons from past mistakes and now is being carefully selective in his choosing... Look forward to reading/seeing more of your works here... Kindest thoughts and wishes, Anna-Marie.
