Known author she was
Her success was undeniable
But there's more to that best seller
Than just another fable
In fact, when you opened it
The novel held an inscription
Right on that very first page,
A few words in a caption
It read:
"This book is dedicated
To the man who inspired it
And the love that never faded
To the man who taught me so much
Who for a year has held me tight
He gave me the world inside his palms
And showed me love in all its might
To the man for who my love is still the same
After so many years, like it used to be
Nothing has faltered, although that man,
Must have forgotten about me
This is an announcement to the world
Of feelings long held and set apart,
Promises made long ago
In the sacred space of my heart
