Why I rejected Gabriel last night
He’s wonderful. Gabriel
is tall, nearing 6’2”
Athletic; varsity soccer
Stanford; star student
with big dreams and
has himself figured out;
Chases purpose
Thinks open-mindedly and feels deeply
Understands me well and
we have so much in common.
Is kind and caring and
funny and
perfect on paper
He learned love from
his affectionate family
After all,
people say I’ve won the lottery
I know I have:
Mature; great influence
Strong, noble values
Honest and genuine
Husband material
Within reach
A real-life dream–
I was reminded last night
when I saw him again
And you, who
is not nearly as tall,
Athletic, but not to his extent
Community college attendee
with no ambitious plans and
not driven to figure it out;
