School Girl Crush

Peering through the window grill

I'd wait to hear his whistling

Returning from late night shift

Cigarette dangling from his lips

Imagined he would someday

See me as a woman, his mate

Loved him deeply, couldn't say

Despite our huge age difference

He never knew; understood

 'Puppy love' must have assumed

Was pure and innocent as a dove

Virgin as an untouched bud

Innocent was I in matters of love

Pinning hopes my love he'd return

Shattered when saw him arm in arm

With new bride; love took a nose dive

Like a jilted lover, wished him evil

Never would find marital happiness

Looking back to that first school crush

Makes me smile, makes me blush
