Did you know?

This one's from my 1968 Notebook - actually
written in 1970.  I was 20 and into Astrology. 

Did you know?

Did you know that Cancer
was compatible with Virgo?
No?
Well, it is.
So now, you
should take notice of me.

You’re so tall
you have to bend
to come through the door.

I’m so small
I have to jump
to reach the top shelf.

Funny, hey, that I
should fancy you
for myself?

And me,
so near the floor...

How’s the weather up there?
Do you know I care?  

Well, I do.

I like an awful lot of things about you;
your blond hair, blue eyes and glasses.

Your big nose! 

Even your massive
size ten feet
and huge toes.  

Like thick fingers,
they’ve got character.

I tried on your shoes the other day
and shook with laughter.

They made me feel all feminine
because mine were so small,
compared...

I don’t even reach your shoulder
 in platforms!

And yet... 

When you hold me
or kiss me
or anything,
I feel nice.

All protected and loved
and I trust you,
completely
even when you’re driving
and you know how nervous I am
normally...

So you see,
the difference in height
doesn’t mean a thing, really
- does it?

Do you believe in the ‘Stars’?

Well, I do...
but that wasn’t why
I fell in love
with you.
