the shades were drawn
in the middle of the day and
the music pounded against
the walls on the day
that she realized that she
was in love with
the boy who wrote the articles
for magazines no one
knew the name of.
he was eighteen and full of
compassion with the slightest
touch of mystery that
she could never unravel.
she was seventeen
and listened to rock and roll
vinyl as she waited for
her life to begin.
they were different in ever
possible way, yet she knew
that he was the one.
although she fell in love,
she knew she was in love with him
when he published an article
about her.
about her deep rooted passion
for music and her
sophisticated way of knowing
the chorus to every song.
she knew she loved him because
he had said,
"and she sits in a saucer chair
with her feet underneath her and
a record playing next to her.
she is like an angel
who lives among poor sinners."
she just knew.
