Where the Flowers Go
In the office, a naive new girl, clueless about the whole mess, was touched by his efforts.
"He's been asking us about what you like, Teresa. With him going through all this trouble, how can you still say no?"
I looked at that young girl, fresh to the world, and after a pause, I told her,
"A man only realizes what he's lost when it's gone. He knew what I liked and did nothing. Now, it's too late. I won't settle for love that's overdue or a man that's less than I deserve, and neither should you."
