You are the apple of my eye
Sitting seductively silent
I seem to feel lust and love
Almost in equal
measure
Your mere existence
Has brightened my being
And stirred my soul
And awakened feelings
Long buried
But after the lust
evaporates
The love will remain
A more tangible
emotion
So let us make memories
That we can treasure
I remember the first time
That I saw Elaine
Just one look
And I was smitten
But I couldn’t speak
to her
I just watched
And admired
She caught me looking
Once or twice
And she smiled
Her smile was nice
But I looked away
embarrassed
The last time she
suddenly got up
And to my utter dismay
She was coming my way
I though she would
have a go
About me staring
But no she said
“hello”
And told me her name
Then for the longest
time
She just looked at me
As I stuttered and
stammered
Then she kissed me
When I saw her
I fell in love with
Grace
Though her reputation
Was as a straight lace
But I didn’t see that
At all in her face
I went and asked
“Would
You dance with me
Grace”
She said she would
“But nothing fast
paced”
So I placed my hand
On the curve of her
waist
And pulled her towards me
And though she was
chaste
She didn’t pull away
Or repell my haste
So I danced the next
dance
With the beautiful
Grace
And the one after that
With a smile on my
face
We left the dance
floor
With fingers
interlaced
On the day I placed my
hand
On the curve of her
waist
Was the day I fell in love
And my life was Graced
The traditional way
Is now rather passé
And may have had its
day
But I will ask thee
While on bended knee
If thou wilt marry me
Because my love for you is true
There is nothing I
won’t do for you
Except for this one
small thing
Which is that I won’t
do nothing
I should have tried much harder
Looking back upon that
day
I should have fought
for you
I should have tried
every way
You were the very best of me
Around you my heart lightend
In your presence I
walked on air
Around you my spirits
brightened
I lost myself in my
own conceit
I was consumed by self
obsession
I stopped seeing you
as precious
And treated you like
my possession
I should have tried
much harder
On that day so very
long ago
I should have fought
for you
Instead I ran away and
let you go
