when planners fight

he & she found themselves to be
remarkably similar in
personality contrast,
for they both had no time for
unplanned
anything---
both attaining some kind of
success at a young age in their
prospective careers, they waited
throughout the laborious search
for a significant other that would
mix just right---
finding each other was to the both of them
like discovering the proverbial needle in
the proverbial haystack---
one thing led to the other &
the happy domesticated couple
did their happy domesticated thing,
wrapped up in a new abode,
with glistening rings on their fingers &
yummy new dishes whipped up together
fertilizing the evenings,
energizing the both of them into
aphrodisiac bliss.

but the missing of the
pill was not an accident,
nor was it planned---
it was something of a whim on her behalf,
after a special night where they both
seemed to achieve that comfortable
warmth of true contentment
which often baits young couples into
thinking that they can spend
the rest of their lives together &
once she missed one, she decided to stop
taking them altogether---
sure, they had had a talk about the
starting of a family,
but together they had come to the
conclusion
that like everything else they did,
it too would be planned
perfectly.

one morning, after testing herself,
she hopped back into bed &
felt it was the right time to let him
know,
after all, things had been going so well
with each other’s careers & the two of
them seemed so happy together,
wouldn’t the news only add to the
ecstasy
which they seemed to be living in?
