Green Dress

Poem about diving head first into something and being heartbroken

You meet me at the union steps

A meeting arranged through drunken texts

The look in your eye as I advance

You say my green dress has you in a trance



We shyly hold hands as we walk back to yours

A linking of hands that breaks all the laws

I imagine we’ll kiss, maybe have sex

Nothing can prepare me for what’s coming next



I’ve hardly let myself dream these words coming from you

The smile on your face when I tell you ‘me too’

Will stay in my mind for ever more

A look of pure happiness from the boy I adore



That night you were the only person in my view

A room full of people, all I saw was you

You looked at me and those blue eyes shone

Repenting and apologizing for ever doing me wrong



And when finally alone, we get into bed

Have poking competitions in the back of the head

Listen to Bob Marley, have a long slow fuck

I should have known not to believe my luck
