Country Boy, City Girl

I wrote this about me and my now bf. Cause its weird how even though i did pull away he still came back too comfort me and tell me not to be scared.

Counrty Boy, City Girl

Both from completely differant worlds

One life quaint, simple, plain

The other lively, loud, impossible to tame

So differant, so unique

Eachothers light is what they seek

Country Boy, City Girl

Combine their hearts and thus, their worlds

A challenging path, if they so choose

A mixture of people thoughts and hues

Is it worth it? This jump, this leap?

Is the challenge present too steep?

Counrty Boy, City Girl

Both from completely differant worlds

maybe its not ment to be

Is it just a City Girl's dream?

She takes back her hand, He fades away

Now tell me,

Is she happy with the choice she made?

Country Boy, Stupid Girl

Now watch as their lives unfurl

She was stupid, she was safe

The painful consequences she must face

She took back her hand and watched him fade away

Now tell me,

Is she happy with the choices she makes?

Excellent write, Gummy. There's no telling if she would have been happy with the other choice either. People can find their happiness regardless of the challenge, if both are working on it together. I had a similar choice once a lifetime ago... marry the boy that lived in my neighborhood or marry a boy that would take me to a different state than where my family lived. I chose the safe and known. I wish now I had chosen the other, who took a long time getting over me, had four failed marriages until he finally found someone who looked like me, sang like me, etc... Had he married me we would have been happy to this day. The other marriage failed more than two decades ago. I'm still not remarried.

This was really good! Loved reading it :) In your first and third stanzas though you spelled 'country' wrong. Other than that this was a great piece!

Brilliant poem. Demonstrates the differences between them wonderfully with a few twists.
