The Heart© Tony Fallon10917

The heart you drew in my book was so finely traced
It looked like it was beating it wasn’t drawn in haste
You wrote the love in your heart would never be erased

I closed the book so quickly with my face turning red
If any other boy ever saw it I might as well be dead
They would surely tease me that we would soon be wed

But moments later I felt overcome with a feeling of joy
You could have chosen anyone but you picked me as your boy
The honor you had bestowed on me I could not openly enjoy

Yet this was awful sudden for a girl known as being sedate
We hadn’t even held hands once or gone out on a date
And I really didn’t want to be tied down at the age of eight.
