I don’t remember deciding that I loved you.
I remember your persistence.
Really . . . Bringing flowers and an apology
Into my classroom!
Twenty-five simultaneous “Awwww”s.
Unfair! What was I to say?
“Go away, I said I didn’t want to see you again!”?
Of course I found you attractive,
So I caved.
It took eleven years to get my
Own life back.
I’m not saying it was all bad.
I’m just sayin’ . . .
