Stanco Delle Tue Scuse
I
When we first met I thought you were the one.
We were close together during that trip to the mountain.
Every activity we were together.
By the bonfire we sat together
To me you were young and pretty plus much different than the rest.
I wanted to hang out after the trip, and you agreed.
You said that you were the last of your line.
During the end of the semester I asked you out to lunch and you said it was going to be hectic for two weeks.
I understood because my next six weeks would also be hectic.
Your tags and posts revealed a different nature.
To me I did not care but was rather curious.
I wondered if I should have said anything then.
Would it have made a difference.
II
When i traveled from Georgia to Amsterdam i did not hear your voice.
In Barcelona I did not hear your voice or see a text.
In France I did see a text about hanging out with you and another friend when I came back.
I agreed but it never happened.
III
Coming back to the states i had hoped that you would have been with my family waiting at the terminal.
Wishful thinking, you were not there.
I flew to my home state.
Never a word from you.
The night I was back in Colorado and having dinner in Springs, you sent a message.
It was troubling and made me concern for YOU
I actually cared for you!!!
IV
Seeing you at my house and speaking about your new job was a delight.
Although I just wanted to see you.
You had scheduled lunch previously but now you rescheduled it with an excuse.
Stood up#2 checked.
Another rescheduled and stood up#3 checked.
Plans for lunch during semester
Stood up#4 checked.
No matter what happened it still counts.
A lesson should have been learned but the heart was understanding and gave another chance.
You know part of my story and I know yours.
A friend tried to destroy us from one another.
From my circle she was banished.
My heart has always thought about you..
Never treat the Virgo wrong.

Your current status has changed from lameness to single and now to who knows.
In front of my good friend Mic you said “I don’t want to blow you off, see ya at tow in the library.”
Since, two all the way to 239 you rescheduled.
Waiting for you nearly an hour, meh.
Did you see me leave and then call?
I had to go to work and collect my stuff from the lab. Regardless of why you were late. It is still unbecoming of you. I wanted to believe that you could change.
Stood up#5 checked. You may be sorry as you stated.
A Little too late honey.
