It started with a dedication:
"Lost in admiration;
Happy birthday,
I'm forever yours,
Blossom"

Faded red inside
A tiny book of b___erflies
I smiled,
Surprised at how
When flickered through
The wings flew by
Spelled out my name . . .

Six months went by
The summer lost
Obsessively the letters
Dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth
Flowing hand
"Please try to understand:
I have to see you !
Have to feel you !
Tell you all the ways I need you,
Yours forever in love" . . .

Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
It varies
But the smallest things
You never know
How anything will change
Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
And alters
But the smallest things
You never know
How anything will fade

The year grew old incessantly
She wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry !
I laughed in recognition
Of a favourite phrase
She'd pulled me in . . .
I answered her
A christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us
Should meet . . .

Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
"Can I use some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel
That it was real
And kissing crimson
Fell into her waiting arms . . .

Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
It varies
But the smallest things
You never know
How anything will change
Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
And alters
But the smallest things
You never know
How anything will fade

So alone into the cold new year
Without another word from her
I wrote to ask
If we could maybe meet again
Before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply
Until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise
But this time
Nothing was the same . . .

"I'm sorry !
Blame infatuation !
Blame imagination !
I was sure you'd be the one !
But I was wrong !
It seems reality destroys our dreams
I won't forget you
Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes . . .

Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
It varies
But the smallest things
You never know
How anything will change
Strange attraction
Spreads it's wings
And alters
But the smallest things
And you never know . . .
And you never know . . .
And you never know . . .
