I bent over her blonde head and tied the rose-colored kerchief under her chin
While she looked at me, smiling and singing some unfamiliar song
Her eyes - shots of wide blue, glistening
Her softly curved cheeks - adorned with two small dimples that start at each corner of her mouth
Once the bow was tied, I leaned closer and gently kissed both eyelids, as soft as rose petals
(...her middle name is Rose...)
I stood back, and worked my way toward the door
As she continued to sing and smile at me.
I watched as her father looked toward her to see what I had done
His smile became as large as hers, his cheeks rose to the edges of his eyes - and I knew by the look that he gave her,
That he was melting inside.
I said good-bye.
She stood up and went to the door - I could see her through the glass window
As she waved good-bye with one hand, holding her other to the kerchief on her head.
I drove away.
Good-bye.
