Suzi: “Come with me to the art show.”
I was always busy –
Thinking you would always be part of
My background scene;
A stage set for me (Hamletarian Arrogance)
My life centered in clouds
Next week you told me about Steven
(you asked him after I said no)
How he:
- made you laugh
- asked you out for coffee
- wanted to see you again
A month later:
“We are going to spend the weekend in Monterey.”
Steven was king of the hill now…in your heart –
Seeing you,
Two more years;
On campus - walking with him –
A lesson learned outside of college.

The mistakes we make can haunt us.
True - thank you.
What a rough read. Although a lesson learned, I'm sure.
Yes it was - much thanks.
