He often told her he
loved her, missed her,
found her irresistible...
She had moved on,
was seeing someone else.
He wouldn't stop flirting,
stopping by, making her laugh.
To be honest, she hadn't
discouraged him enough.
"Stop" only worked temporarily.
Ignoring him only encouraged him.
Until the day he overheard her tell a friend she was very late.
Looking back, she says, pregnancy was not logically even possible
But they weren't completely innocent and there was enough doubt to scare him.
Instead of "I meant it when I said I love you. It's not ideal, but we'll get through it together."
She heard "If you are, I'll take care of my responsibility" then "I wish I could wake up and this was all a dream" then later "I feel like I want to die."
He had often told her he
loved her, missed her,
found her irresistible...
Until he realized it might be forever.
I have permission to write about this
but it doesn't really matter who they are.
This could be anybody's story.
The good news for them
is that it was a false alarm.
They are both free of each other.
Not everyone is so lucky...
Celibacy is looking better and better to me...
