Confused by conflicting thoughts
and fears, her mind iffy stood him up,
didn’t answer his calls
rejected nice guy perfect man for her
countless things in common
two months later her mind and
emotions unscattered, fears gone
realized she made a mistake,
lost a good, kind man
called him to apologize and
accept a date with him.
too late, chances gone, good guy lost
he found the right unconfused
woman and had no time for her
after her rejections
and confused nonsense.
It seems I’ve heard this story before.
Bob Boyd
