She painted her lips, in a lavender hue
Promised to look her best, for she knew
The color she chose, would say it all
As she waited so patiently, for him to call
Large sterling hoops, dangled from her ears
Soft shades for her eyes, to lessen the years
A perfect head of curls that framed her face
She wanted to impress, with style and grace
Quietly, she waited, but the call never came
Realizing now, things were always the same
Decided to show him, just what he was missing
With lavender lips, it wasn’t he, she’d be kissing
