She knew from the kiss
When his eyes darted away.
She wondered if he’d have the
Courage just to say
“It’s not working.”
She was tough and
Not to introspect
But to travel with the
Bruises and the bumps.
Only then did he come
Back to her.
She was even stronger
Than before
And was not one
To be afraid
Of the closing door.
This strength he found
Was magnet like
And like he did again.
This little flirty butterfly
Game was intriguing
And alluring
And brought them
Together again.
