YOU’RE STILL GORGEOUS

I said “Hey Gorgeous”
but nothing sticks on
Teflon shoulders

I said “Hey Gorgeous”
but high heels walked
away lonely

I said “Hey Gorgeous”
wanting you to understand
it was only my third time

I said “Hey…”
turning around
regretting

I say less
these days but you’re
still gorgeous
