I had to keep reminding myself
that you were too young for me.
You were in your twenties.
I was in my seventies.
You were adorable and probably
still are.
You had the sweetest voice I’d
ever heard and probably still do.
You were incredibly funny and
probably still are.
And you drove me nearly crazy
when you flirted with me.
I often had to use all my will
power to stop thinking about you.
And oh how I imagined how fun it
would have been being with you.
But you were in your twenties
and I was in my seventies.
