You're 21, So Are You Married?
Surrounded by people
Who should be sobbing
Who were laughing
And talking and joking
Around and around
My great aunt calls me over
She asks me how I'm doing
I say good, not bad
She asks how old I am now
I say I'm going to be 21
In a week
She asks if I'm married yet
Uhh no...
She asks if I
"Atleast"
Have a girlfriend
I hesitate
And say no
So she looks around
And walks away
Why?

She asks if I

So she looks around
And walks away
Why?

damn those are some crazy expectations. You're doing the right thing waiting till you are ready haha. That sucks. Great write, thanks for sharing!

Haha thanks, I appreciate it. But yeah, she's old and sort of semi-senile so I took no real offense. I just thought it was interesting. We age and we don't even really realize it, I guess.
