On Hold

Alone I sit with much regret.
Time to think for some while.
She wanted to wed when we first met.
Back then a ring was not my style.

Promises made and time went by.
She loved me so that she did wait.
I felt no need to rush the buy.
I pushed it back and set no date.

Years went by and my love grew.
Life without her I could not bear.
Now I'm ready to say I do.
A life with her I want to share.

I thought I had my future planned.
The girl of my dreams, I realize.
But wedding bells she's now banned.
She has changed her mind and my heart dies.

Next month my birthday twenty seven.
Though I feel thrice that age today.
My world is falling, my earth made heaven
She now thinks about pushing away.

My heart is in pain.
My life has turned cold.
It's begun to rain.
I've been put on hold.
