He Found Her

He found her

Beautiful.

His little bit of

Chocolate

That melted both

In his hands

And his mouth.

He found her

Intelligent.

There were times

He would spark

Debates, simply for

The joy of participating

In verbal warfare.

He found her

Heady.

When she would

Put on that dress,

Wear that perfume,

Walk in those heels,

She left him wanting.

He found her

Engaged

To a man

She swore she loved

And yet she sought

Him out in the dead

Of night.

He found her

Wanting to be

With him, but

Needing to be

With her fiancé.

He found solace in this.

Eventually,

Solace was not enough,

And he slowly released her,

Pushing her to the man

Whose ring she wore,

Forcing himself to forget.

In time,

What he found was

Lost to him, but

He knew it was

A matter of time

Before he found

Someone new.
