A bow tie,
brown eyes,
and winning smile
appear on-screen.
Authored was the book:
Bow Ties For Two.
Flashback to him
in the passenger seat.
The drafted prelude
to Bow Ties For Two:
“My Future With You.”
A winding Westfield Boulevard,
their hands intertwined.
He sends him a song:
“I Think I Am Going To Love You.”
So as not to leave the reader amiss,
the passenger interjects the prelude:
“I do not think we should try to do this again.”
Recalled
is the tranquility
that accompanied Tiana
on his kitchen floor.
A fool at heart
remains aloof to truth.
The two-month hiatus of dreams
devoted to damning him;
dreams comprised of their future,
though he was still unsure.
Authored for Bow Ties For Two,
a chapter titled “I Am Falling In Love With You.”
His mom suggests he keep
a gift card for their next date.
Remaining empty in Bow Ties For Two,
a chapter titled “One Hundred Percent With You.”
