Rochelle and David Finally Cut a Deal


Rochelle and David

in the end, they stood at the altar,
but it sure took a long time to get there.
from the beginning, it didn’t look
too promising, she didn’t even
remember him a week after a
deliciously flirtatious conversation.
hurt, he sulked for several months,
refusing to be friendly to her even
though she lived in the same dorm.
that was effective.
time passed and they grew up a bit
and became the best of friends, too
good of friends to risk more.
through illness, job disappointments,
the fact that he thought New York was
too noisy and expensive, there
weren’t enough reasons to stay
together, in spite of the book she
wrote, 500 reasons why
I love you, for him.
in the end, they stood at the altar,
such an unexpected event after
four years of thinking of each other
and never picking up the phone.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
