UNAFFECTED

 

She was beautiful, elegant, graceful

She held herself with dignity and poise

Yet was unaware of her own attraction

At school, boys of her age, for want of her

Cried themselves to sleep, she was unaware

She turned heads and yet did not notice

This was not arrogance or even aloofness

She did not see herself as others did

It had always been so, Her innocence

Not that she did not date boys or even men

She was neither virginal nor chaste

She was chased and pursued but not caught

Her heart when given went to the one man

Who saw beneath as only a soul mate can
