I Misunderstood

The most beautiful love poem.

The most beautiful lady refused my love.

I saw her looking at me provocatively.

My heart leapt when I beheld such beauty.

She showed signs of affection for me.

And I anxiously wanted to speak to her.

I was confused, so I was bound to fall in a trap.

 

I politely introduced myself to her,

And she gladly told me her first name.

My self-confidence was too high,

So I asked the lady out on a date.

I didn’t think she’d turn down my request,

But I was wrong about everything.

 

My wild emotion and imagination led me falsely.

I thought the lady had a crush on me.

On the contrary, she emphatically said, “No.”

She shattered my hope of becoming her suitor.

I felt so dejected, lost, and incomplete.

 

Her response gave me a sad feeling.

She didn’t feel the same way about me.

What a pity she couldn’t see my heart.

She unintentionally tore it apart.

I’d have collected the bits and pieces,

But I just didn’t know where to start.

 

Perhaps she thought I insulted her intelligence,

But that idea didn’t come up in my mind.

She might have stayed a little longer,

But she left because I asked her if she loved me.

I looked abashed when she shook her head.

 

She only wanted a friendly conversation.

Clearly, I misunderstood the situation.

My rash attempt resulted in embarrassment.

I took the wrong approach to love.

The next time I meet a lady, I’ll use tactful words.
