I used to be afraid to meet <br />The lovers going down our street. <br />I'd try to shrink to half my size <br />And blink and turn away my eyes <br />But now I'm one of them I know <br />I never need have bothered so. <br />And they won't mind it if I stare <br />Because they'll never know I'm there <br />Or if they do, they're proud to be <br />Fond lovers for the world to see.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-used-to-be-afraid-to-meet/
