Was It, Or Wasn't It?

It had never happened to me,

And never had I wondered.

Was it my innocence,

or had someone blundered?

She never looked my way,

Never she smiled at me,

But she was my only ray,

Though never were together we.

I saw her often through my window,

Going in and out of her house,

Often, had I thought of her,

My heart was in total chaos.

In my dream, I saw the image of her,

Together we were crossing the Nile,

And as the sleep began to blur,

I got up quickly with a smile.

Dressing up was no problem,

Nor were the flowers I would buy,

The only problem was the anger,

When I saw her with the other guy!

I caught him by his throat,

And flung him aside,

Meanwhile she ran,

Looking for somewhere to hide.

I told her to come out,

For she needn't fear,

It was then that I saw,

That little rolling tear.

"I knew you loved me,

I knew you cared,

But I wanted you to tell,

For I could never have dared!

I am happy to know your love,

But you were a little too late,

You missed the Dove,

My parents had already laid the bait!"
