They Called Me Kate Poem by Mashe Others

I watched him speak, avoiding my eyes,
and i wanted to run my finger over that scar on his face.
I loved how he'd come up to me,
like a little boy with a crush and always calling me Kate.

It was silly watching him play his little game on and on,
when i was ready to say he's almost got my heart,
But then i walked in on him saying I love you on the phone,
and it nearly tore me all apart.

He said my smile can drive him crazy, and i think i almost blushed.
He always stood so close to me, unaware of what he does.
It hasn't been long but we knew each other like it was fate,
that we met and I had to smile when he, too, called me Kate.

His arms were strong, without thought i clung to them as he wished,
and let him whisper in my ear all night long.
If i didn't know better I would have given him a kiss,
but he was going to be a father and it would have been so wrong.

I told him i was kate, but of course, I wasn't really,
and as my name rolled upon his lips i almost felt sorry.
But he was just a stranger and I've been around to see,
that all the men who called me Kate can never be with me.
