Maybe

By vanessa


Being the family dog is so much fun.
No pressure, no memorizing for tests, no couples.
Pure fun, observing, love, frolicking in the sun. Life at its simplest.
Unfortunately, it is not like that for my owner; her story follows.

There once stood a handsome guy named Cutie.
He came from the country of Texas.
Some people called him Jaws. She called him Sweetheart.
She knew, as clear as glass, they would be together.

She met him at orientation over the summer.
Unfortunately she had to depart from his company for a while,
And that caused a great upset.
But the next time she saw him, smiles covered their faces.

They tried to stay just friends but soon realized the impossibility of that task.
They became close as siblings.
When they came together, a new blend formed.
They mixed so well, like peanut butter and jelly.

On the way back from a road trip,
They sang love songs together in the car.
Some people thought Oh no!
But all there was to say is that Friends are friends forever
Through heat or snow, or any type of weather.

After the road trip, they went to a party together.
They watched some movie, but all the time they really gawked at each other.
Chewing gum, eating Smarties, gazing at each other with sparkles in their eyes.
It was then that they realized those love songs weren’t sung together.
They were song to each other.

Everything was a blur from that night,
Unless it involved him.
He was on her mind even past midnight.
Everywhere she looked, he was there.

Sadly he was dating her best friend,
But would that relationship end soon?
Behind him and the track,
She hoped maybe one day it could be them.
