COMMITMENT

She gave him a hug, bid him bye at the door. Then scurried to the window ’til he reached the bottom floor.

With a hesitant cautious omen, he looked up to see his woman.

He’d better not trust in her love too much; if so, his heart she would surely crush.

    if he can’t let her go it’s better not to dwell too much on what’s happening behind the scenes.

  5. CGraith says:

    Those in between times of a relationship, not exactly sure where things stand. Cute story!
