Please Dont Judge Me

Don’t judge me; I know I appeared to be so standoffish. You pursued me for a long time. You greeted me every day when I came to your coffee shop. Sometimes you wanted to give me the coffee for free. I declined every time. You tried to give me roses, But I didn’t accept them. One day you just stopped abruptly. However, you didn’t know that I was secretly in- love with you. And my wall was about to come crashing down. Listen, I was just guarding my heart. As I child I used to be overweight. I got bullied a lot. I had no friends . As I got older I got in shape, I ate healthier and I joined a gym. I am now a fitness instructor, and I own a couple of gyms. On the outside I’m a knockout, Open the book and turn the page. You will see I’m still the little overweight girl that’s madly in love with you. I guess the old saying is true “ Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover” 2-15-2020 Alexis Y.
