To Ms. Sara

by Desiree - Virgo

I remember waiting 
For him to arrive,
Rehearsing every line
That I was to speak,
Practicing my every move
How I was to sit 
And stand 
Fixing my hair 
So that one tiny piece 
Would fall into my eyes
So I would look sexy
Making sure my make-up
Was perfectly even
No lines 
Mascara unclumpy
Lusciously glossed lips
I was anticipating 
That very moment 
When he would stand
Before me in the doorway
(and I'm sure every girl
has done these same things
whether they will admit it or not)
And you know what
He never showed, 
And that night I cried
Scrubbing my face
With soap and water,
Removing all that shit 
I never wanted to put on anyway,
I guess the moral 
Of this lame story is
That the guy was never 
Worth my effort to impress,
And I could have made 
All the excuses up in the world 
Maybe his car broke down
Maybe he got lost,
Maybe he forgot 
But I didn't 
I accepted the fact,
And moved on.
Honey, you need to do the same!!!!

Reason for writing:

    I was like 15 when this happened now 21 
but hey I tried to relate. Sara we've all
been in similiar circumstances, don't do what I did..
I blamed it all on me and wondered what the hell was wrong 
with me. It's not you! Just making sure you know that!!
You waiting near the phone was like me peeping out the
window every time a car drove by....hoping that the next 
would be his... In time you will see.....
