Maria, Maybe

Maria will be at work tomorrow, presumably; one never knows.
She's the most beautiful woman I've seen. If I spiral too close,
Moth to a candle, I'll stagger and stammer, fall to the ground,
And her face, which is flawless, will darken. She'll shun me,
And I will find myself cast into a void, a pasty-faced suitor,
Unsuitable for her, staring as what I've so wanted withdraws.
My world, in other words, might end tomorrow, if she comes
To work, but she maybe she won't. I cannot say that I know.

If I may follow a fellow commentator....
"Say it loud and there's music playing…"
By now you will know if she turned up, and if she did maybe you adoration has grown another iota or two?
Blessings, Allen

“I’ve just met a girl named Maria…. say it soft and it’s almost like praying…”
