E.J. Smith Poet Free verse

Neighbor

I wanted so many times to stop
At her house and be company to her
But I was fearful.
Scared she wouldn't know me
And would be afraid of me.
I'd see her standing on the porch
And would wave.
She'd wave back
Not really recognizing a neighbor.
I regret my silly fear now 
She left her place one day walking
And no one  has seen her since.

Daver Austin October 8, 2013 at 11:09 AM Yes! This brings back memories. I'm still wondering about that girl I was going to ask to lunch, that blond girl who worked at the doctor's office. Congrats on the selection. daver
