Infatuated would have
been an understatement.
I was punch drunk,
I wanna have your babies
and run away
into the sunset with you.
I was let’s elope in Vegas
and keep it a secret;
let me be the Tibetan monk
living in your heart
translating every sigh and whisper
into scripture.
I was let me wear blisters with pride,
the ones I earned
from walking this earth
telling people all about you.
About how you yawn
with your morning coffee
and about how you will pick a buttercup,
hold it beneath your own chin
and giggle.
I was Sandy from Grease
hopelessly devoted to you.
Your body was the drive in
and I was stranded
forgetting the road
I came in by.
I was I’ll never forget you,
never let go of you,
because we all
have to believe in something.
And you were my Heaven,
my Elysium,
my endless night
and every waking wish.
You were everything to me.
Even my I know this will never work
because our lives are too different,
my please don’t walk away,
I can’t cope with the distance,
my Dante’s Inferno
of missed calls and voicemails,
my smile on Sunday
and broken heart by Wednesday,
my forever which only lasted
the number of steps to the front door,
my this must be what goodbye feels like.
Infatuated, would have been
an understatement.

I just read your pending review as well (cheating!) and LOVED it – trying to work out if there is anything you cannot do? Talented girl and still so young. I stand in awe.

Only because I’ve been on the planet longer I promise you! At your age I was still reading Asterix 😉 I think it’s more impressive when someone young can do so much straight away, and actually irrespective of whether you were 14 or 100 I think I’d just love how you write and think so age really doesn’t matter the soul of the writer does. You happen to have a particular talent that I think few possess and I’m just glad to watch you fly with it. Don’t forget to hit me up with any reviews you may need/want I’m always here to help and support our little clan. I’d like to review something of yours FO SUR

Another lovely piece. I especially like the line ‘telling people all about you. About how you yawn with your morning coffee’. It’s reminiscent of something I say to my Mrs.
