It was my girlfriend's birthday,
and I forgot about her gift.
I was worried she'd find out,
with punishment that's swift.

When I heard the door bell,
my sweat combined with stress.
Her reaction and disappointment,
I tried not to think nor guess.

It was way too late to drive,
to the flower shop or store.
I wished her happy birthday,
as I opened the front door.

I told her to sit down,
and simply just relax.
While thinking of a plan,
my brain was at its max.

Said I'll be right back,
as I ran into my room.
Quickly went online,
hoping to avoid my doom.

I ordered that weird looking,
purple and black purse.
Printed out a birthday card,
and added a sweet verse.

Gave her the freshly printed card,
with a hug and a long nice kiss.
She was more than happy,
I knew she was in bliss.

 

I tried my best to explain,
the purse will be a bit late.
She said that it's alright,
she doesn't mind to wait.

As I smiled in relief,
I woke up from this dream.
Realized it's her birthday,
and began to run and scream.
