ANNIE’S SONG

 

You were so self-conscious

Yet you never saw the beauty in yourself

The beautiful brunette hair

That framed your lovely face

Which you thought lank and lifeless

Your fabulous legs that so often were hidden away

Which you thought were unsightly and fat

Your intoxicating laugh

That you heard as a cackle

The tiny scar on your cheek,

That went red when you drank too much

We could only see it if you pointed it out

You always thought yourself ordinary

Nothing could have been further from the truth

You were beauty personified

And my biggest regret

Is that I missed my chance

I dithered and dawdled

And I lost you to another
