It was a rainy night and she was grieving over a breakup
She was a sore sight to see with messy hair and tears falling down her cheeks
He left her for a younger woman who cannot cook and wears too much makeup
She looked in the mirror to see a different woman who had let herself go
Her clothing was considered old-fashion and it was considered cheaper to keep her
He took her self-esteem when he left, and she felt that she has nothing to show
Although, she wept for many nights off memories of a stolen love
One day, she awoke to a new inner peace and she had a new outlook on life
She was no longer this bitter woman, yet she was ready to remove the glove (mask)
When she received her makeover, her appearance was jaw dropping beautiful
While in the mall a man approached her asking her out for a date
She smiled at the respectful masculine tall man that could be suitable
Although, he caught her off guard she pulls herself together and accepts his offer
They eventually went on several dates over the next eight months…she was glowing
He pulled up one night in a stretch limousine with a chauffer
She approached him he got on one knee to ask her hand in marriage and she said yes
The following day she was out shopping, and she saw her ex-spouse
He replied, “You look as good as the first day I met you I must confess”
She replied, “I am out looking for furniture for my house”
He replied, “The younger woman left him for a younger man”
Although, he had thrown away 15 years of marriage away
She replied, “I am sorry to hear that, and I have moved on with Stan”
The moral to this story is the grass is not always greener on the other side
Love is a bond between two people yet when the bond is broken
Your black card has been revoked and yes you have been denied
