If I knew then what I know now
I
would not have hesitated for a second
I
would have asked out Anne
Lovely
self-conscious Anne
Who
never saw the beauty in herself
The
brunette hair that framed her face
Her
fabulous legs which she often kept covered
Her
intoxicating laugh
The
little scar on her cheek
That
went red when she was tipsy
Anne
who never saw what we all saw when we looked at her
Who
always thought herself ordinary
Nothing
could have been further from the truth
If
only I’d asked her
But
I dithered and I was too late
And
I lost her to another
So
instead I ended up dating her younger sister
Just
to stay close, which was torture
And
if I knew then what I know now
That
night after the dance
When
I sat alone with her in the lounge
With
Marion asleep in her bed
I
would have crossed the room
And
rummaged in that awful baggy caftan
That
she always wore wrestling her out of it
And
I would have spent every precious minute
Caressing
her naked flesh
Playing
her body like an instrument
While
my girlfriend slept above
If
only I’d known then what I know now of life
