Dark Blue

I never gave it a second thought. Never questioned or wondered. I never tried to understand why I was not married yet. Sure there were girls that were getting married left and right, I just was not one of them. I tried to brush it off. I tried to act like it did not upset me. But it did. It upset me that no one seemed to want me enough to court me or marry me. I wanted love too. I wanted someone to love me. I wanted it so much sometimes I could hardly breathe. You would think that my father would at least be able to arrange a marriage for me. But he did not. Or he could not. Either way I was not married. And my future provided no promise of one any time soon.
