Dawn's Diary: Love & Life

1952

And the man goes on his knees
proposing to the love of his life
the woman wooed by his move
a love confirmed by a "yes" and soon
the woman becomes the man's bride

but I blush as you go down on your knee
trying to fancy me the way he did
I am no woman
yet my heart flutters
like a little girl would

we run to our favourite spot
a space where only you and I know
where the world looks away
and we make love on the low

I watch the man hold her hand
a peck on the cheek and a rose
but I imagine him holding mine
and I know he'll give me a bouquet
like he propose

But the flowers are obviously for work
or at least that's what we say
a bedroom shared by those who
become lovers
just for an hour or two

A game of 1952
and two fools for players
but I can't help falling in love
with a gentleman like you
