Shades of Red

Red-faced boys, ruby hearts, your blushing smiles absorb an ache buried within crimson shadows.

forgot to tell you, the heart throb was George Michael. hahaha (too bad a gay!!)I can't recall if he had already come out of the closet by the time I saw that concert in the 80's. (I just googled it and i guess he was not known as gay at the time we were screaming our heads off for him. the joke was on us ladies!!)

How funny...I loved him too! I saw Wham in concert when I was 13. Then I saw George a couple years later after he went solo. My taste in music changed after that, but I have some good teenage memories.
