Love

"I love you" she said,

On the very first date,

Lost for words, overwhelmed

He replied, "I love you more"

To surprise her, he went, the day after

With red roses and a cup of takeaway coffee

Up the stairs, finally in her apartment door

With no second thoughts, no knocks, he opened the door

Roses scattered, coffee spilled all over the floor

To his surprise, she was, making out with the boy next door
