She was led astray

by desire day by day,

he thought her quite intriguing,

his thoughts stuck on her, always dreaming.

By her graduation he thought of congratulation -

to place a ring to linger on her finger,

but his years surpassed her in body and in mind

a romance – but due to numbers – crime.

This is a poem written to my girl,

this assignment has me curl-

ing up with thoughts which lead me to surmise,

that my hellos aren't worth it  – so, goodbye.
