"The Proposal"
So there’s this couple
Okay – maybe not a couple
They say they are good friends
Because they cannot admit anything else (that would be too heavy)
One night they have sex
And he thinks he says, “Will you marry me?”
But what he really says, is, “I have big plans for you and me when you get your head together.”
And she thinks he says, “Lady, you are really fucked up.”
So she gets out of the bed
Puts on her red high heels and a smile
And leaves.
Thirty years later,
They meet at a party
And drink two $300 bottles of Cristalle
And there is no-one else in the room (but there really is)
And they leave together
And he says to her
“Why didn’t you say yes when I asked you to marry me?”
And this time she gets it and she says, “Because you never asked”
And he goes on to explain the when and where of it all
And she says, “Well, if I had understood, I would have said yes”
And so
They have sex
And once again
Are almost a couple.

So, do you think that will be the end of the story? Or does the story ever end?....... It sounds like the couple are meant to be together. I would hope that they don't waste any more time. Sheree
Speaking on behalf of the hypothetical couple in the not quite a poem, all I can do is quote David Nelson:
But the story doesn't end here
If it ever does at all
Just a letter to the sender
Hand writing on the wall
Take a ride by the hillside
Take a wander by the shore
Hear the sound even louder
Than the oceans' mighty roar
