The Solitary Man

He had never had
A girlfriend
And was frustrated
By the women
He encountered,
They were a mystery,
As incomprehensible
And complex
As any secret on earth.
He had no idea
How to approach a girl
Or what to say
Once he met one.
He felt totally inadequate
For the task of romance,
Yet he lived in a fantasy
Of what it would be like
Once he found someone.
If left to his own devices,
He would probably
Never have met anyone.
Fortunately,
Sensing his his fear,
She approached him.
