A young girl reading my writing,
her big sigh, and I was

I thought, oh sh-t now I'm dizzy.
Dizzy - what I am now.
She then assured me, that she had

Fun, lovely, bright and exciting.
And her stories were great.
Funny, nice writing. Is it love?
Then I whispered, "Too late."

I think this is a lovely, heartfelt ballad. Strong human emotions expressed through poetry and often set to using. Very good!
