The Happy Ending
Father told me to keep my virtue
Mother and her friends made it seem like a big deal
I could not think of letting Father down
I could not bear to bring shame to my mother
I tried my best to be the good child they wanted
I resolved to be different from the other kids
I was almost a phantom in my locale
I rarely spoke to anyone
I breezed my way through life
Until it was time for the university
My parents reminded me of to keep my virtue
School can be deceptive, they told me
In school, I avoided the opposite sex
For I feared that I might forget myself
Although naive and silly
I managed to survive the university
I kept my virtue till my wedding night
Before giving it to the one I loved.
