"She was so very beautiful."
He said sincerely and unfazed,
by my nondescript reply and my uninterested gaze..
"And she was such a talent-could turn her hand to anything"
(whilst pondering my 'lack of' I'll admit, that one did sting..)
"My parents were bowled over, the first time that they met..."
This swiftly was becoming, a night I would regret...
"Her smile lit up a room..'
(he dreamily still rambles)
'...not a man who didn't swoon"
My fake smile, is now a shambles..
"And her quirky sense of humour-oh how she made me laugh!"
Not noticing me doodling a
'Her Vs Me' pie chart and graph
on my serviette
As he continues,
to describe this perfect creature
The result of my studies are in-
And prove, I really can't compete here.
So I stand and say politely
(and he appears somewhat perplexed)
"See you around, and thanks for dinner-
It's just a shame you brought your ex".
