LOVE

She tried to get it
like a ball in a dogs mouth
She tried to pull it away
he wouldn't release it.
She tried to sweet talk him
into giving it to her.
He wagged his tail and looked at her
He wouldn't let go of it.
She got tired of trying to get it
so she walked away.
The dog ran after her
got in her way
dropped the ball on the ground
at her feet
wagged his tail.
She smiled and reached down
to pick it up
He snatched the ball before
she could get it
and ran away with it,
again.
