Sitting alone on a park bench feeding the last of your day-old bread to a pack of pigeons while sipping from a bottle of gin that you swiped from the corner liquor store... "Damn Paki always gives me a hard time" you think to yourself as slowly you drift into that blissful dizzy that you look forward to every night. You look over at the single red rose that you bought for Mindy. Mindy works at the Walgreens on 6th and Main. She's always so nice to you, sometimes that niceness was perceived as flirting. "What could that young broad want with an old coot like me?" You often wonder if she noticed that you seemed to go to that store more than you really needed. She didn't say anything when you bought the same pack of DoubleMint gum everyday for a week. Sometimes when the line was short you'd spend an extra few minutes getting to know her.

you made your big mistake that day. You've never been married, never even had a woman give you a second look, but that night in a moment's panic when the question "So, are you married?" was uttered from her soft ruby lips, to avoid the stigma of being "that creepy guy" you blurted "yes! happily for 23 years!" When really that's how long it had been since you last spent the night with a woman. "Stupid stupid stupid!" So that rose just sits on the park bench, it was bought with the last $4 in your pocket and you know you'll never get the courage up to actually give it to her.
Well... there's always next year.
BAM!!!
Maybe not.
