Yes, it will happen...
sometimes it is fated to be,
and cannot be avoided...
predestined, you might say...
perhaps it was your fault,
you went beyond the sensiblilities of the other,
could not gauge feelings,
perhaps misjudging the other altogether...
perhaps it was the other, who,
maybe not having specifically planned it,
did it simply out of habit,
living many disappointments,
or sport, having purchased a handguide...
Now you stand there,
the door does not reopen, and the day has ended.
Do you pass quick judgment
in reflexive defense, and make accusations?
Was the other really flighty, demanding, snippy,
and childishly unstable,
or was it something that you just did not see,
or understand, about the other,
leading to inadvertent hurt and insult?
If you had not had any successful relationships before,
then you would naturally conclude that latter...
and if you had, and feel pretty certain it must be the former,
but have an exact-seeking mind,
then you will never fully rule the latter out until the math is done...
Then again, it could have been just the wind
that blew the door shut...
