Angelique
Once upon a time I worked with Angelique. She was a normal woman by most standards. Then she smiled and she shattered any pretense. I caught myself and turned my head back to look at her as I walked away. I saw a field of daisies is what I remember. Her smile beamed and her eyes laughed such kindness.
The next time I saw her she was wearing a sun dress and her hair was down. She caught my eye across the room then lowered her head slightly and smiled at me. For that instant I was in love. I knew she had someone else. I was confused because I knew I excited her but she was committed. Now I know, I understand these years later. I'm a fool so many times over because of what I know now.
