The Florist's Tale
The florist sprays her flowers with water as she awaits for more business
She looks outside her window and sees a man she wishes upon kisses.
A customer catches her glance and began to think,
“Why don’t you talk to that man?” she says and after she winks.
The florist responds, “I’ve been hurt some many times, I am bad with love.”
The customer smiles and says,“When the one comes, you two will fit like a glove.”
Before the customer leaves and moves on with her day she stops to say,
“Love will come to all even if its your first or your last that choses to stay.”
Let me tell you a tale about love at first sight,
Of a couple who wanted to be together day and night.
The young lady was taking a jog,
While the young man was walking his dog.
All of this was taken place at a park,
When both first met and hit off with sparks.
This young woman was the most gorgeous girl you see,
Long brown hair, with light green eyes like a pea.
But unfortunately she had bad luck from men who were destructed with lies,
And no matter what they always had an alibi.
The young man was always too shy to get the courage to speak to women,
But only because of seeing his parents marriage fail from never hearing to listen.
So he was frightened of getting hurt and didn’t believe much in finding the one.
But instantly his eyes were caught by this young lady who glistened in the sun.
As she was jogging she looked up and notice this man was giving her a glance,
So she smiled back and wanted to get to know him and give him a chance.
She stopped and walked over to give him a greet,
But he then became frighten and wasn’t too quick to meet.
The girl notice his reaction and became a little puzzled,
But still introduced herself and said, “Hello, I’m Isabel Tozzled.”
The young man was shocked thinking to himself, “I can do this!”.
Stuttering a little and then he says, “Hello I’m Rob, how are you miss.?
She giggled at the fact that he was shy, but she thought it was cute.
And the young man assured himself she was the right girl he would want to pursue.
From that day they became inseparable, getting to know each other more and more.
They began to date becoming so in love, never seeming to giving each other a bore.
But one day soon all the fun was coming to an end.
Both were disagreeing too much and their relationship began to bend.
Rob knew he never wanted anything like this looking at his parents past,
He knew what he had to do and said, “This can no longer last.”
Both devastated and departed away,
Because of her heartbreak Isabel dated other men but things were still grey.
Rob kept trying to find someone who was exactly like Isabel.
Failure came to his mind and began to dwell.
Both were seeking for something that was already gone,
But even after all they were just looking to move on.
Time past as both just enjoyed themselves, just hanging with family and friends.
They both focused on their future but they both found love to still pend.
Then one day Isabel was at a childrens party at a park.
A dog was on the loose, it had long furry hair and was dark.
People were shrieking as it was running through parties,other were trying to catch it.
Then the owner came and apologized for the interruption and told his dog to sit.
Isabel came to realize that she knew the dog as she glanced up she saw Rob.
Both caught each others eye, and immediately Isabel smiled and began to sob.
They both departed away from the party and asked each other , “How can this be?”
But it came to their minds that they were meant to meet.
It took a little departure to realize they wanted to be together.
But their love was willing to halt to finally float smooth like a feather.
Isabel explained to Rob she that she tried to get over him.
Rob confessed that he tried to do the same, both started to grim.
Isabel then said, “I’m sorry you're not my first love but you're certainly the one.”
Rob shrugged and replied, “It only matters that I am your last and only one.”
Love never left them,
Their love was just growing like a flower on a stem.
Rob took a step back to realize it just all took time,
That everything will fall into place and you cannot rush love and it will soon climb.
