he remembers how she\u2019d drive to his apartment
\nevery day after she finished her work<\/p>\n
as a social worker helping the elderly<\/p>\n
how wonderful it was to look out of his apartment
\nwindow and see her there in her car<\/p>\n
how wonderful she looked with her pretty brown eyes
\nand lovely curly black hair<\/p>\n
he remembers how she thought he had a fixation
\non blondes<\/p>\n
he smiles inwardly remember how she had a fixation
\non believing that<\/p>\n
he remembers how compassionate she was
\nthe most compassionate woman he ever knew<\/p>\n
he recalls how though was quite proper and
\nalways modestly dressed <\/p>\n
she surprised him in ways he hadn’t imagined
\nwhich amazed and delighted him <\/p>\n
he liked her honeysuckle southern accent
\nshe liked mimicking his bostonian accent<\/p>\n
that he kidded her about saying he spoke
\nthe queen\u2019s english<\/p>\n
for a brief moment he languished over her
\nleaving him unexpectedly when she said a <\/p>\n
lot of things were wrong with her body
\nand she didn\u2019t want to burden him<\/p>\n
despite his wanting to be there for
\nher no matter what<\/p>\n
and leaving cards and flowers on her
\napartment doorstep for about a week<\/p>\n
she stuck to her resolve and what had been
\na wonderful love was forever over<\/p>\n
but now that should have been is barely a
\nmemory after over two decades ago<\/p>\n
his heart healed long ago and he doesn’t
\npine over the loss of her <\/p>\n
though she was the best match for him in
\nhis entire life<\/p>\n
