Oblivious

I should have asked her why she was here.
I didn't. I should have taken notice of the
Times, so many, when I turned to see her
Turn her eyes from me, and should
Have known that she, who seemed to
Linger near, would have remained the
Afternoon if I had shown I wished it so.
She left without a backward glance with
Someone else, and, when they'd gone, a friend
Said, "She was here for you, you fool."
