Girl's Best Friend
Preferably something thoughtful.
Zirconia, cubic. I told you
you e-
xactly
what I didn’t want when it comes to engagement rings. You’re
virtuous to a fault,
unable
to ask me a
serious question. Did you want to take this
relationship further?
Quit playing games if you’ve decided that I’m not the
person of your dreams.
Only thinking of last minute
notions that
might please me
like I’m somehow complacent with
kindness, faked.
Just—
I want to know
how you can
go on, proposing to me with this.
For-real.
Every other stone - any other stone would have been
desirable over something so easily
Cracked. Maybe we need to
Breakup.
Ask again later.
