She was beautiful, elegant, and graceful
And 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, and not only boys,
But she was unaware of the effect she had,
She turned heads and yet did not notice
This was not arrogance or even aloofness
She just 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
