Our Story

My poem, “Our Story,” is inspired by a true story. This is a story about lost love, which commonly occurs as a result of the difference between a man and a woman and the pace at which each one seeks new romance. In today's world a man forgets that a woman must be pursued, and that her timeline is slower than his. Frequently this results in hurt feelings that the woman cannot overcome after she finally realizes he is the one. His misperception is that she is uninterested or that she has rejected him, when in fact her feelings have actually been growing stronger and stronger for him as each day passes.
