He’d be here one day soon.
In fact, if he could work things out,
I’d see him Sunday noon.
For months there’d been no word from him,
So this news quite surprised me.
“Forget about him and move on,”
My friends had all advised me.
I’d thought we’d shared a special love,
A bond so strong and true,
That when he left, I was bereft,
Not knowing what to do.
I’d pondered over past events.
Had I done something wrong,
Or had he just pretended that
He loved me all along?
So now I wondered how I’d feel
When I saw him again.
Ought I to take things as they came,
Or should I make a plan?
And as is custom, time moved on
Till Sunday came at last.
I’d still no thought of what I’d do,
And time to plan had passed.
At 12 o’clock, I heard a knock.
There he was at my door,
And then within me, my heart leapt
When I saw him once more.
He told me things that he had done
And burdens he had carried,
When out of the blue, he bent his knee,
Proposing we get married.
He said he’d loved me all along,
Wherever he was living,
And hoped, in spite of leaving me,
That I would be forgiving.
Forgive him and then marry him—
Could I not, or could I?
Dear reader, help me to decide—
“Should I not, or should I?”
