we still talk about your beauty
even though we’ve moved on
the allure for you we had
was all for naught
your charming voice
that infectious smile
with an old soul and
blonde hair everywhere
at parties i stayed back
when you eagerly went on
to the next house or show
till the sun rose again
hometown weekends stopped
you went north, south
east, west – all over
your wandering soul
i hope to catch you
back in town
i’ll stay back still
just to admire
