Moment of Truth

She threatened me today.
Oh those devious choice of words!
I wasn't trembling. No siree bob.
How's that even possible?
Am I not thinking straight or have I met my match for real?
I suppose I have. It's simply extraordinary.
One day we're immature like a manchild, the other day we're as right as rain.
Maybe the one sitting upstairs had something to do with it.
He's one unpredictable wizard.
You might be wondering what the threat was.
Well it was just a gun fired by society from her folks' shoulders.
At the risk of sounding braggy, I'd say I've grown wise.
Or she unknowingly made me strong.
Yup...they do have the ability to do that.
Even though I'm supposed to be macho like she remarked.
There's plenty to rack our brains about...in the near future.
But for now, I'd freeze this moment as if there was no tomorrow.
It had buckets of honesty pouring in...almost smothering the confidence.
But we persevered and kept our heads above the water.
Bottom line is tentative...yet a sweet memory now to cling onto until the moment of truth.
