Dodie's Valentine

You were my first taste of love
Even before I could say the word
You chased me in the grass
And we fell down laughing
It took me a while to see you
As a person with your own life
Things that had nothing to do with me
You were my first experience of alone
And separate from everything else
I remember your modest dignity walking
Through the city streets with me
Holding my timid hand
When you were my Athena
And I was your little man
