Touched By an Angel

She captured my heart in so many ways as she unknowingly strummed the instruments of my soul.  I knew not how to tell her and so I my efforts to draw her attention were awkward and ineffectual.  So from afar I admired her, yearning to be near.  Eventually we moved far away taking her from me forever.  The last day I saw her, she was talking to another student at school and I heard the words.  She had learned that I was moving away and she commented about what a nice boy I was she and just hadn't had the courage to approach me.  Her name had been Allison, and she found a place in the heart of an eight year old boy that would last for decades.
