271. The Pending Offer

It’s been over two months now
Since we began our earnest discussions
You proclaimed that I met your needs
The perfect fit for one or more positions
So I deferred my decision to work for another
Since your ravings indicated a huge reward
But now that ten offers have come and gone
I feel like I’ve fallen on my sword
The meetings we had scheduled never were
Despite the apparent need to move real fast
If I was truly the one you wanted
Why has so much darn time now passed
So I here I now sit in the job hunting mode
Wondering if too good to be true really is
How much longer will I need to wait
When your opportunity is too good to miss
