Exit:Stage Left

She is pretty, but not beautiful.Like the girl next door.
Never great at first impressions, she grows cuter when you think about her.
Her voice is a bit too manly,her expressions awkward.
She doesn't get all your jokes.
She has ugly feet that are two sizes too big for her, and forever hidden from the world,because she knows it.
She has a lot of male friends, and you don't know where they all stand.
She likes to put you down in front of her friends.
She is too skinny at times,but keeps complaining that she can't lose weight.
When you're with her, the only things you can notice about her are her imprefections.
She laughs like a donkey brays.

This is what you keep telling yourself.
Never great at first impressions, she grows cuter when you think about her.
She grows on you.
When you're away from her, the only things you remember are the things that make you smile.
That make you sad that you smiled.

She is pretty, but not beautiful.You have met hundreds that were more beautiful.
Also funnier, smarter.

It hurts.
She grows cuter when you think about her.
She reminds you of the girl in the movie who was so wrong that she ended up being Ms.Right.
A cliche is a security blanket.

She reminds you of the girl that felt like destiny.
She reminds you of a long lost friend that you never had, but should've ended up falling for.
She reminds you of the girl next door that instead of being Ms.Right, just made like a tree.
And Left.

  1. Experimenting with minimalism, where prose is structured as poetry...bland poetry

  2. Lol...wrote this bcoz I was watching a rom com which I absolutely hated...twas a formulaic piece of garbage...and I was wondering why the lead pair would fall in love even though they hated each other...and that made me realize that this is the twisted movie logic.

  3. Movies and novels tell you that women have a twisted sense of inner logic that makes sense only to them...in the movie, the girl breaks up with the guy even though they are cosmically meant to be together because her inner logic dictates it to be the right thing to do karmically...
    None of the women I know have such twisted inner logic...in my experience-men and women have similar kinds of logic....linear and somewhat self serving.
    Maybe I live in a different world or maybe I don't have enough life experience to have seen otherwise.
