Poem: She believes - Nassau, Bahamas

She sees forever, you see today.
To you, she is a fish in the sea,
the catch of the day.
She’s thinking of marriage,
she believes that you are the one.
You believe that she’s a nice girl who is a lot of fun.
She sees a lifetime commitment,
someone to comfort her when she’s old.
You see a woman, one of many
that you have had the opportunity to hold.
She pours out her heart to you in letters
and burns the telephone line.
You see others, but you manage to keep her hooked
with your candy coated words, guilty gifts
and “ miss you signs”.
She caresses in affection,
each stroke conveys her love for ‘only’ you.
You touch to conquer, you kiss to subdue.
She sheds her undergarments with passion,
utter devotion she strives to profess.
You initiate petting to arouse
and foreplay to undress.
She proclaims you to be her boyfriend
based upon your actions;
But your chauvinistic pride merely sees
“the temporary” physical and emotional attraction.
She’s thinking of marriage,
she believes that you are the one,
And you will tell her what she wants to hear
as long as you can hit and run.
