Generation Gap

Mom, I have met A girl on the Internet. I think, I can’t find another Soul mate like her. I can’t believe it’s happening to me, Can I go to Holland to see? I couldn’t fathom my emotions- Disbelief, pain anger all were in motion. I didn’t know what to say, I could see there was no way I could dissuade him. The situation seemed grim. Is this how it happens these days? I felt ancient in many ways. Someone you haven’t made eye contact With, or seen a movie while holding hands I could see it was time to let go, He has to learn from his mistakes and grow. I am sure my parents felt the same And thought I had no focus and aim Now I understood what is generation gap. The realization hit me like a slap. I think I grew up that night, And gracefully gave up the fight.
