Strawberries

I bought her strawberries one day
The salesman told me they were ripe

But from the way she frowned when she took a bite,
I knew that they were not

I apologized over and over-

She had waited all day for these fruits

But she ate them anyway,
Said she could get used to them for me

We parted a month afterwards

And when I went to visit her house four years later,

I saw in her cooler she had strawberries

And not a single one was ripe.

Hmmm that was very interesting (and not because I'm a strawberry freak, I SWEAR!)
I like the line, "Said she could get used top them for me" especially, and then the end connects.
She tried, it failed, but she took something beautiful from it.
Yeah, I enjoyed that.

Thanks for sharing!
