Love Sonnet

Love Sonnet This afternoon at the local grocer I had bought a bottle of beer and a tin of tuna fish and I meet the daughter of the woman I had been in love with, I had never seen her before and said halloo like she knew me and she was as lovely as her mother was. Her mother came and I said something flattering, they both smiled knowingly, you can`t fool a woman about love. I`m sure her mother had told her daughter of my trips to the post office where she worked t the time. And they have been laughing, not of derision, but by my inability to express my love openly. I`m telling this because when I came from hospital in December after collapsing and had been given a pacemaker and the onset of the shingles I was in despair both physically and mentally and I said if I had died I would have no knowledge about this tristesse My wife cried and I promised not to speak thus again and I would not met the daughter of the woman I loved
