I sat in the back row, a little fold-up chair,
Rubbed my hand over my neck,
Thought of how it wasn't fair.
She stepped lightly cross the grass, her face all aglow,
She clutched her bouquet close,
And I wished I didn't care.
Our love, I told myself,
Would have been too good, too rare,
Of course none of it mattered--
I'd never kissed her, never dared.
