Feather in his Cap

I sat in my parents car starry eyed at him as we me small talked in his driveway. All the while he sat outside the driver's side and threw small gravel rocks in the car rims but I fell in love!

The captain of the cross country ski team had to "cancel our date for a meet" but I was in love with him!

My mouth was red and sore from his braces as I was in love with tall Eric.

He wanted me to touch him 'there'. I didn't want to, but I was in love with Eric!

His voice sounded so good in the church quire. I joined the quire because Eric would be there.

My parents said we had to move away. I would have waited forever for Eric, but he didn't shed a tear and cheated on me the day before I moved away.

He avoided me and didn't say 'good-bye'.

I wrote many letters of forgiveness and longing. His silence spoke but I didn't want to or couldn't listen. His parents made him send the prom pictures four months later.

I finally got them.

Feather in his loaded cap

Blind as a lovesick bat

His feet upon his doormat

I hate to think of that

He never loved me back
