The Mermaid on the Starbucks Coffee Cup

There came a time
when I missed Sonja
more than she missed me;
all the times she told
me I was her boyfriend
and I would tell her
"You're my friend and
you could be my lover
but you're not my girlfriend
because girlfriends take time
to brew and inorder to make
a proper selection
I need to spend more
time and experience with
a woman such as you."

"So Sonja said "wowie zowie"
packed her bags and moved
back to Maui."

My read on this . . .

I wouldn't even have said 'wowwie, zowie' --- would have just left. I mean, especially after I was essentially told to 'kiss butt'.

Good write though ...

It may have been the cold and bold voice of experience talking but it was an honest thing to say.  Too bad, so sad she didn't have the time or inclination to wait and see.
