Under the Microscope
The jeweler showed us
(his prospective customers)
how the cut of the diamond
effected the price.
The finer the cut,
the clearer the diamond,
and the more expensive.
A tiny diamond could be
far more costly
than a big flashy one.
For years, I questioned myself,
about my impulsive decision
when I pointed to the smallest
well-cut one as the one I wanted,
and my fiancé, eager to please,
didn’t question me.
Looking back, I think
I subconsciously chose
to not value appearance so much,
but something inward,
pure, valuable, unpretentious
like I wanted our relationship,
a true gem, love being the fine cut.
