I Told You Not To Change It

I would write in my bedroom at my desk
Sometime until 2 or 3 A.M.
And when I finished a story
I would run into Wanda's bedroom
And say, "Honey, are you awake"
She would say, "I am now" with  a smile
I would read the story to her
She would say, "Don't change it, it's good"
The next day when I would go to the library
And meet Helen to put the story on the computer
I would change it a little
When I brought it home and Wanda would read it
She would say, "I told you not to change it,
But it is better," and would hug and kiss me
I miss that
You see I lost Wanda 3 years ago
And now I have no one
To run and read the story to
Boy, I miss her!!
