Ghosted by a Lawyer
by Jared
Outside awaiting our table, when out of nowhere
Did appear [redacted] shining teeth, perfect hair
Excitement and fear when I first caught a glance
But I knew now and here would be my one chance
My heart skipped a beat, my stomach did swirl
It's no easy feat to approach such a girl
But I set that aside, swallowed my pride
Took a deep breath
And prepared for ego death
Turns out I was wrong to ever be fearing
Because she was equal parts sweet and endearing
I was over the moon to have gotten her digits
Better yet, come morning, she sent me well wishes
My elation redoubled when we spoke on the phone
Our conversation took on a life of its own
She likes the same books, better yet the ideas
Conocer este chica me gustaria

Please forgive me, I wrote this^ before you'd made your decision
Of the fact you might do so I had some suspicion
Your delayed responses left me apprehensive
But I still figured I'd finish this
And now figure I'll send it
I'm not one to plea, or to beg or to chase
I don't write this so that you'll reopen our case
But in doing so
It feels good to know
I was able to put one more smile on your face
