Wrong Lesson

[WP] You’ve only felt butterflies three times in your life. When you first saw your college girlfriend of four years. When you first saw your ex-wife of two years. When you first met your current wife eight years ago. But today, you just met the new girl at work and felt them again. from WritingPrompts

She smiled and I felt flutters.

Her eyes sparkled when she laughed.

I glimpsed our future with each other.

Happiness first. Then the shaft.

I know this feeling well; the nerves.

No matter how her uniform fits those curves.

I keep to myself and continue my routine.

Butterflies? I ignore them. I know what they mean.

Three times in a row; never again.

Flutters are just a heartache waiting to happen.
