HE DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER ME!

 

WELL, YOU SAID, "COME BACK NEXT WEEK..."

Wonderful Lady at Cookie (Speaker) Meeting  last night inspired this story of her first day in Alcoholics Anonymous...misunderstood rejection, exaggerated fantasy, complete clue-less-ness.


I walked into the smoky room
One thing on my mind:
Troll for a groom.
In this group of alcoholics
There's got to be at least
ONE "handsome"--who frolics.

At meeting's end, HE came to me.
So stunning...Oh my God!!!
Said, "You are new here?"
"(sigh!) Yesss"
"Welcome...and please 
Come back next week."
 
"Ohhhh (swoon)"

Alone, for the short trip home, I mentally
Chose the venue for our wedding,
The musicians, the photographer
My white dress, even the college
Our daughters would eventually
Attend.

"Next week", I went to where he sat
Believing I was all what he fancied.
 
What happened next
Made me drop my cup
He stared blankly up
At me--standing.
And he thought
Naught


For Today:

SOBER
GRATEFUL
LIVE
HELP
LOVE
BE AT PEACE
