HAPPY ST VALENTINE'S DAY
❧✿❧
NOT WHAT SHE WANTED
She sought a heavenly love. The kind that resides with sky and guiding stars. So easily she would recognize her Mr. Right. He would be her moon and she a bright star in his sight.
He would be patient, he would be kind. Not rude or boastful, never those gross behaviors he would display. And most of all; it would be for them a happily-ever-after story.
Little did she know that the heavenly love she got was not of seventh heaven. Because there were many a goddess who swore to entice her hapless love. He yielded to a love round like a moon.
Alas she exclaims "It is a moon wrapped in brown paper" not worth the while. Easily soaked in a drizzle. The kind that can be tossed to the garbage.

I wonder if he is a bad choice, or if she has too high aspirations... maybe a little bit of both.
