Nothing changes, apparently, about love
I watch the streets
I did preen in a modest way, almost without meaning to
I knew I should have said goodbye at least
Do you think I’m rude?
Some people are lucky
They didn’t have the least interest in me
It was like being punished at school
Then there was silence, the air like ice
He can’t help looking a little trapped there
Remember that when you get out in the world
All in the hope of appearing high class
Too late, too late, we both noticed the time
I myself had never seen the like
It’s not up to us to discuss this, is it?
At first I explored the town
What were you looking for?
You’re not surprised to see me, are you?
He did not care about anything that had happened in that place
He did not want to explain anything to anybody
All signs said that the right thing to do was to go back there
He took walks almost every day, in spite of the weather
Time to make a fresh start
It wasn’t her nature to be sulky
That was as far ahead as he liked to think
She would live now, not read
I barely remember that life
‘See! See!’ he says, and she does see
There’s something I want to be sure to show you
She has stared out of windows more
I suppose you’re quite a stranger to farm life
A bus would come eventually, and take them north
