THE SECRET ADMIRER

by Roy Dorman

Another relationship has ended.
Though he had seen it ending
long before she had,
he had done nothing to try to save it.

Now he was at the florist,
his florist,
choosing some flowers to have sent.

Would the card have the usual message?
Yes, of course,
the usual message:
From Your Secret Admirer.

He’s at home when the flowers arrive.
They are beautiful.
And the card;
the card is so…,
so full of possibilities for the future.
