Molly
: [Lous out dancing again tonight. She seems to have forgotten. Perhaps she never meant ta rermember. He never knew about me.. He was always looking at her. They say you dor’t die of it, this pain, this feeling in your breast, They say that time heals all.
He knew me so well he didn’t stop to know me at all. When you’ve grown up next door to a girl you come to think of her as @ sister, maybe, or a great friend, but you never come to iook at her like he used to look at Lou.
She’s got a new dress. Bright red, with not much back to it and plenty of bustle. Her new boy’s a captain. She seems to have forgotten. She’s lucky to be able to forget. I can see so clearly how he looked. You’d never pick him out when in a crowd, Not tall, but not too short. Not dark and yet not fair. Grey eyes. A long chin and a fairly crooked mouth. She’s lucky to be able to forget.
