Roses and chocolate

Kianna, a French girl, takes matters into her own hands after being stood up by the boy she liked. She chooses self-love, enjoying a solo date with roses, chocolate, and a sense of freedom.

Kianna, a sweet French dreamer 

Fell in love in winter's shimmer

With a cute boy named Nick

Who asked her on a date last week

Days and days passing by

Not another word from that guy

A sigh escapes, but she won't wait,

Her happiness won't hesitate

She decides not to cry for her potential mate,

Admits, she still wants roses and chocolate 

She won't wait anymore for a boy running late

So she finally takes herself out on that date

Kianna ends up sitting on a white bench at the park

Reading her favourite romance novel in the dark

And that moment she says to the universe:

"Merci, you took away my distress"

Author's Note

I was inspired to write this poem after I watched an ad for perfume a few days ago with the same story and now I turned it into a poem with a few of my touches added so I hope you love it as much as I do! ♡

If I saw the advertisement, it would have been easier for me; to imagine the scene which you have portrayed.

Perhaps, no coincidence too; that you posted this - with Valentine's Day drawing nearer (day by day) lol?

It made me think, how spontaneously; a romance can start. Even, after a first date. Or when, you think that someone has lost interest in you; or their fondness has started to fade away. Or, may have wondered if that person was worth pursuing; in the first place? It happens.

Quite cleverly, I linked how your ending to this piece; makes a brief allusion - to romantic literature and the mysterious universe...

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! To be honest this wasn't like a traditional advertisement, I watched it on Instagram and it was made by an influencer and her name is actually Kianna and she is promoting a perfume line! This story is pretty much the same to that video/advertisement, Kianna is asked out by the boy she likes, she doesn't get another response about when they will hang out, in the video she's watching her favourite movie, Coraline, then but I couldn't find a way to include that in the poem but at that moment she says "I still want roses and chocolate" and then a date with herself begins. In the whole duration of the video she's showing each perfume from the line and that's a clever way of marketing in my opinion. Anyways, thank you so much for your kind review and words once again!!! I really appreciate it!

I would say that she has a positive outlook. It was his loss. A lovely poem of making the best out of a disappointment. Very nicely composed.
