I think she chooses to stay

or at least I hope so

“Wine Bottle and Glass” by Alice Straker

Hey guys,

True events inspired this poem. I was rubbing my fiancee’s feet and guilelessly tried to take a sip from her wine glass (after the bottle and my glass were finished, of course). And she hit me with this cheeky little line. Sometimes I think she should be the poet.

Till next time,
Justin

I think she chooses to stay

by Justin Gil

we're inseparable you and I
if you try to leave me
I know where to find you.' I joked.
I stopped rubbing her feet to steal a sip of wine from her glass,
she snatched it away just in time, and quipped,
'yeah. you're inescapable.'
