hoping she would never know,
he didn’t let his smile show

afraid of holding her too tight
he always knew this was right

he acted polite, talked about the weather
though he knew of topics that was so much better

he wanted to say how her ears were small
and how she didn’t remind him of his sisters doll

he wanted to tell her that nothing could compare,
that she was more beautiful than he could bear

she found the letters neatly stacked
there was only the stamps that lacked
