Pāhonoa te oro

I left her… and it saved me. Years ago, I was the only one trying. She’d agree to dates… then leave me waiting for hours, only to cancel. Again and again. I got tired. I walked away. It wasn’t easy.

And on the day of their wedding… he left her at the altar. Years later, we met again. She said she regretted everything. So… we tried one more time. Noth
