It occurred to me just yesterday
While observing the young adults
Of our own very large family tree
They have inherited the same faults.

Its amazing how they see things
Their self importance and pride
Is only lessened by confidence
As through this  life they glide.

My mind drifted back in time
To those now  long gone years
And I laughed to see myself
With no inhibitions or fears.

One incident came to mind
I decided to stop dating
My boyfriend of two years
This was a chore I as hating .

Because I Knew for a fact
That he was so in love with me
He would write me a sad song
And get down on one knee

This song would be so sad
He'd cry at least a week
 Or else he'd go get drunk
Until his mind was weak.

But instead of all that
He went off to Ohio State
And became a  doctor
And that was his fate.

And about ten years later
His wedding invite came
And of course I'd  RSVP
And if he asked I'd explain..

Then came the reception line
And infront of them I stood
And he cocked his head and
He'd talk to me if he could.

And he said with a question
You look familiar but no
I can't remeber who you are
Tell me before you go.

I looked at him in silence
And finally found my tongue
I'm here for the bride I said
As slowly my head hung.

And at this his Brides eyes
Were the size of a dinner plate
And I saw the searching look
I just moved on and did not wait.

Ouch.  I hate that when that happens.  I guess the saying out of sight, out of mind is true...
