We Said



you said,
no one ever believed in you quite like me

you said,
you found the seashell as you ran on the beach

and kept it in your pocket
to give it to me

you said,
i made you want to lay down

on the tracks of a speeding locomotive
and beg for my love

i said,
yes

For Ian.  I was made to believe in you…15 years.  I still have the shell.

Thank you... I still remember the first time I saw your bright brown eyes smiling up at me from across your desk

- and knew I was done for.
