The Lesbian Who Loved Me

Inspired by true events    
      
For Camile      
       
I remember the secretary who once worked at the office.      
Camile was a beautiful and curvaceous lady.      
She complimented me on my formal attire.      
One day she gave me apples and candies.      
And she would touch my head to get my attention.      
I asked her if she loved me and she said yes.      
She really thought I was a handsome man,      
But there was a serious problem that I could not handle.      
       
She told me frankly that she was a lesbian.      
And she said that she thought I knew about it,      
But I did not even suspect she was gay.      
If it had not been for her unnatural sexual orientation,
We would have had a better chance of becoming lovers.
She had no experience of sleeping with a man,      
But it seemed that she wanted to make love to her.  
At no time did she resent the idea of being with me.  
I thought she was planning to change her gay lifestyle.      
Her shameless behaviour shocked me.      
I could not tell she was a lesbian by looking at her.      
She looked like any ordinary woman.      
Her sexual preference did not show on her face.      
Camile’s kindness drew me close to her,      
But I lost interest in her when I learned the truth about her.      
One evening she invited me to a gay nightclub,      
But I politely declined the invitation.      
       
Her sapphic lover was a tomboy and a cyclist.      
And she would pick her up after work most evenings.
I did not like the way that ugly girl looked at me.      
My former sexy co-worker loved me,      
But the news that she was gay saddened me.      
I was prepared to compete with a man for her love,      
But a woman prevented me from getting her.      
She embraced me the day before she went to Florida.
And I have not heard from her since then.
