I found this in my ‘rejected poem’ file. I guess I didn’t like it… or maybe I posted a different version of it? I don’t think I ever did. But my memory sucks…
He fell for her in that moment
The one where his heart was stolen
He was sure he would never recover
His only dream was to love her
He couldn’t imagine her with another
That was more than he could suffer
Because he had always known
He wanted her for his own

Aww.
Of course, I’m not a man… but this came out of a piece of fiction I’ve been writing forever…
Not that a woman couldn’t feel this way, too, obviously…

Hahaha! I sure hope my wife did all those years ago. I was a goner. 😃

I have no idea if any man has ever truly felt this way about me. If I had to guess, I’m pretty sure I know which guy in my life it would have been…

I’m sure one, or more, has. Timing isn’t always the best though. 😕

That’s the truth. I think timing is my nemesis…

That’s something I’ve always been pretty lucky with. Somehow, someway. Feels kinda outta our control, doesn’t it?

I don’t know… I can’t think of any time I’ve ever thought, “wow, I’m lucky…” Usually it’s more like, “damn, I have the worst luck ever…”

I’m sorry. I’ve gone through phases where I wondered if anything would ever go right. Sucks. 😕

This is a wonderful poem. I wish that kind of thing had happened to me. I had to convince my husband he loved me… Wah! 😜

This kind of thing didn’t happen for me with my husband either. And that’s why I live in my fictional world as often as possible… 😏

I hear that… And I think it messes with your confidence a little even if you have a good marriage. I always have a little bit of doubt about things – like if I hadn’t pursued him, he never would have pursued me. I try not to think about it but sometimes it hits me and makes me blue.

Yes, happened to me too!
So strong that, a couple of years later, when she was about to marry someone else, I counter proposed and she broke off her engagement.
I married someone else, as did she, but I still think of her very fondly!

I think my hubby was like that. And I fell in love with him cause he was so sure of his love for me. I think it happens much faster for men, this falling in love thing!

But you and your husband married because of love, right?

Or what I thought was love at the time. Not sure I was ever really “in love” though. I’m sure I convinced myself I was… but I’m not sure if I truly was. I wanted it so badly that it was easy to convince myself it was real…
