About the Poem
This poem is sad in a way, because the reader is wishing and hoping for the day when she will have her man, forever, yet when the day finally comes, she says no...
Unexpected No |
| by Wendy Croft |
| There are times, I just have to say "I wish the world would go away. And leave my love and his heart Together with mine, never to part." We sit alone, underneath the star-filled sky I look at him and see a flame in his eye He leans forward and kisses me I feel his love, now set me free. We end the kiss, he takes my hand He slips on a ring, a wedding band He is down on one knee, and gazes into my eyes He says "I'd give anything, for you to be my bride." He looks so sincere, I have to cry He looks up at me and asks me, "Why?" I look down at him, but he turns away I wish he would say something, ask me to stay. As I slowly turn and walk back towards the car, I glance back at him and see him point to a star. "See that star? I wished on that star. To bring you here, to make you mine." I look up at the star, I remember back to when I wished for this time To be alone with my love, to feel nothing but free Now I am with my love, he is down on one knee. He asked me to love him, to have and to hold, But yet, I say no by walking away in the cold. |
