I have fallen in love with someone beautiful

I hope you get to meet her soon
her grandparents have a cottage in the Lake District they rarely use
maybe we should go there for dad's birthay
we don't have anything planned
and he loves it when we make a fuss.

She is an illustrator of children's books
obviously
what else could she be with those ringlets
that smile, red cheeks
and the way she shakes that bag of sweets
every Halloween.

I have fallen in love with someone beautiful.
She's not rich
but she'll inherit. (I'll tell you about that later).
I saw her at Liverpool Street
struggling with her pink suitcase
you should have seen me leap into action
carry it down the stairs.
A mysterious stranger,
waiting conspicuously on the platform to be noticed.
