Faithful
He remembered when they met.
He had said, "Sure, but I don't
dance very well." Then later, after
a drink and some casual palaver
she had shared, "I don't tan, my skin
is too pale, I glow in the dark."
Funny that people just meeting will
point out their perceived faults first.
We want other people to know "why"
they will be disappointed in us.
It was different with her. She
accepted him.He could talk to her.
He was ecstatic getting to know her,
disheartened when the roads
of their lives diverged. He still retains
a fond memory, clear and constant
as time's ever ticking clock.
Much warm light from candles burning
in the windows of her eyes.
Always pure, bright, glowing,
ever faithful.
Faithful
