in an old foxed book

with love forever

Alison xxx

& my first thought

who?

tho’ I remember

too clearly

who she was

a red haired lover

with freckles

& worse the fear

what others just might

think of her

focused on looks

fashion tips

never once said

the words to me

I love you

I want more than

what we have

so I never pushed

thinking I was just

another interim guy

the last time I saw her

she crossed the street

seen me first

tho’ I had no doubt

from her looks

nothing had changed
