Nights in the spotlight and in the glare
of day, our flirtation was a long song.
Mornings, Bobby fixed breakfast
at his motherâs place and watched me eat
as if dining were an exotic dance.
Dainty, he called me. Dainty.
When I invited him to meet Mom,
she tried dragging him into our tiffs,
but Bobby wouldnât take sides.
Weâd talk for hours; Iâd laugh till I shook.
Sweet as cotton candy, he yearned
to ease my fears, though
I never let on what was aching me.
When I lashed out at folks
whoâd done me wrong,
Bobby stood by me like a tree.
For a year or more, we played
the bar-and-grill circuit like a melody.
Everyone thought weâd get married.
I sure missed our music when we split.
