I asked her out, finally
what a vision that must of been
a man in a Santa suit
beard pulled down

timing timing
that's what life's all about

my eyes, my head
on another "prize"
while I let opportunity
just...

slip on by

never seeing
or rather
never seizing

until it just...

slips on by

she just started seeing someone else
2 weeks and...

I guess
that's
just about right

knowing just where to place her hand for the picture
as only a few do and...

just bad timing
I reckon

Beautifully captured.

Love like everything else in this world is defeated by one thing.

Time.

As 'they' say, "Timing is everything", dear Santa. Sometimes it works for us and sometimes it doesn't. I'm sure you and I both prefer when it works in our favour.

Sorry you missed your opportunity but perhaps there was a Divine reason for it working out that way for you. She might have been a vampiress!

Love & Christmas Light,

Linda

ROFLMAO @ vampiress! Linda, I think youre divine! There is a reason that is so funny to me, but you won't know for about a month. Yeah, divine reason indeed, all of my "luck" with women lately. It is meant for me to go to Pakistan to visit my friend and his family. If any of these relationships had worked out, I wouldn't be going. So, I must press on... Haven't been doing much writing lately, been doing research for my trip. o
