Was that thought supposed to be c/o/m/f/o/r/t/i/n/g/
(cosoftheirsharedexperiencesandall)?
Well – it wasn't…
\(Sherlock)/
would've known just by
g-l-a-n-c-i-n-g at her that she was (had been)…
Or would he?
She always seems to be dancing whenever she moves
She is like a

never stopping
(a.l.w.a.y.s on the _g_o_)
Whenever you were lucky enough to see her she was always s*m*i*l*i*n*g
e-v-e-r-y
single

(even when ||freshly drenched|| after a taxi drove over a nearby p_u_d_d_l_e)
and you would try to ignore the k.n.o.t.s
– or were they b~u~t~t~e~r~f~l~i~e~s? –
in your stomach
(You're not in High school anymore
and
what would a y-o-u-n-g woman like h~e~r
want with an oLdEr man like y.o.u?)
Still, you took the c/h/a/n/c/e to ask her for a coffee
(Or a cup of teasomejuicemaybeahotchocolateorwhatevershefeltlike)

to your cheeks like a nasty r\a\s\h
and you sTiLl can't b.e.l.i.e.v.e that she said YES
[even after she has your r+i+n+g on her pale finger]
You still love the way the moonlight

reflected
in her pale eyes
(that have seen toomuch)
that SAME light makes her hair ~S~H~I~N~E~
showing her as the {goddess} she is
(her classmates must have been b*l*i*n*d)
Her blue bathrobe like… dress t.h.i.n.g
– she'd called them [[dress robes]] –
isn't enough to stop the warmth of
her ¬s¬c¬a¬r¬r¬e¬d¬ skin
from
{enveloping you}
as you hold her ((close)) to your CHEST

The slight a~r~o~m~a of her hair tickles your nose
like a feather
(and you think you might be

because she is still {here}
with YoU)
And you still cannot believe that she'd f|o|u|g|h|t in a WaR
