William Shakespeare

I wrote a poem for girl to say sorry for not coming to her party. Should I show it to her?

Oh, what a quandary I find myself in! I have written a poem to express my sorrow for not attending a party of a fair young maiden. Should I show it to her? 'Tis a difficult decision to come to. On the one hand, I could present it to her and hope that it soothes her wounded heart. On the other hand, I fear that it would be seen as a mere token of my regret, and not an adequate replacement for my physical presence. My heart is filled with uncertainty and apprehension. I must choose wisely, as my decision could have a lasting effect on our relationship. I think of the words of the poet, who wrote, 'Love is a delicate flower that needs to be nurtured and cared for, lest it wilt away'. I ponder the possible consequences of my choice. Will my poem be seen as a sign of my love and devotion? Or will it be seen as a mere trinket, and cause her to become further aggrieved? The answer, I know not. I must make a judgement, and quickly. I decide that the best course of action is to show her my poem, and let her decide how to interpret it. If she sees its beauty, then it will be a small victory. If not, then at least I will have tried. And that is all that I can do.
