She was, last time I checked,
so young that the air threw its arms around her
and light did that glow in her hair
when I looked up and saw her there on the branch
I knew she would always be that bit ahead
and wiser, but also that when I loved her
she would smile like a leaf.
Really beautiful, Lucy, and thought-provoking for me, with my first reaching his number one milestone recently.
