Let me be sweet to you
Spending the day
together was so
much fun.
before i came
over I stopped
at Trader Joe's
and got these damn
nuts I am
addicted to.
My phone buzzes
and it is you.
The text message
says where are you?
I call you.
Hey, you say
when you
pick up the phone.
Whats up? you say.
I am buying those
damn nuts
i love and
I will be
over in like 10
min. Hey, I say
need anything?
Oh yeah, you
say excited
some of that
Indian Pale Ale.
OK, I respond
and start looking
for it.
Memories flash
of you.
and the old
me.
Being sweet and
just buying you
things.
I love giving to
people.
For just a moment
I feel like I am
not alone.
Not single.
I have someone
I want to
be sweet to.
I quickly say
to myself,
Do not make
the same mistakes.
A man standing
next to me, said
You need any help?
I have tears in my
eyes.
I am overwhelmed
with the past.
visions of
birthdays,
holidays
and just love
pass through
my head.
All those gifts
I gave to you.
I am just looking
for this specific
beer , I respond
with wet eyes.
Are you OK?
the man says.
Yes, i respond.
I am sorry,
I just had a
moment.
A past memory
of my ex husband.
I am actually
buying beer for
my boyfriend.
I start to laugh.
He smiles.
He hands me the
beer.
Its OK. He says.
I feel the tears
streaming down
my face.
I feel so stupid.
Where did that
come from?
I walk toward
the front of
the store.
The man comes up
behind me.
Hey, He says.
Do not tell
anyone but
I get choked
up when I walk
by the flowers.
Makes me think
of my old girlfriend.
Looking
into his clear, young
blue eyes
I realize,
we all are hurt.
A little damaged.
Thank you.
I say.
I head toward
his place.
He opens the
door.
Hey.. he smiles.
I walk in
and hand him
the bag.
Pulling
out the beer,
pretzels and
flowers.
Smiling he says,
What's all
this?
I smile.
Let me
just be sweet
to you
I say.
Well , Hell.
He says.
These are
the prettiest
flowers
I have ever
received.
and he winks
at me.
Walking over
to me he holds
my face in
his hands.
Let me be sweet
to you , he says.
For the First
time in 3 years,
I open up my
heart and say
go right
ahead.....
