Feelings

Feelings

I have gotten older. Many years have passed. My heart still remembers. I feel the way I did then. Inside me, the experience—the great big experience—is as alive as it was in the 1980s. That was when I felt like a queen. That was when I was young for the first time in my life. I acted like a young person. I was a young woman and I loved it. After years of dowdy stuff, of not caring what I wore,  I dressed for someone. I wanted to please him. When I ran into him, I wanted him to love what he saw. I wanted him to notice me.
