Love at First Like
Aisling O’Connor
Do you take me to be your lawfully wedded wife?
(Swipe left)
I instantly connected with you
Like my phone to the wifi at home
Or a hotspot, should I say.
I ignored the stranger danger
And assumed I knew you
After all, we were a perfect match
And so, for you my status changed
But yours remained the same,
We swore to one another
Till death do us part
While your lips said “I do”
Your Tinder said “I don’t”.
