She smelled something unusual in him

He could never escape her scrutiny

Since he was little

The apparel he liked

The peers he hung out with

The calls she overheard

All made her wonder

Still she hoped

Her suspicion was wrong

Then came the moment

He confessed and asked her

If she would come to his wedding

Dazed and disappointed

She gave him no answer

Yet on that day she did appear
