Dear Julie
Dear Julie,
I love you.
I always have.
From a distance in the classroom at school.
I remember
only glances
across the desks.
Can't remember ever speaking to you.
Saw you later
in the paper,
in your wedding dress.
How my heart sank but I thought I'd be fine.
Been a long time,
now we're older
and you're happy, that's good.
There's been no one for me all that time.
Now it's funny,
I'm a failure
as an artist and man.
Had a good mind but I lived like a fool.
Dear Julie,
I am lonely.
I've always been
at a distance in your life, like at school.
