Always By My Side

Always By My Side

 
She was a Hollywood star?
she lived in the west end
in the last house on St Michaels road
I know because I lived in a flat opposite
 
her beauty was undeniable
at least, to me  
 
a beauty with eyes like ten carat diamonds
every day making her debut
on the streets of London
 
somedays I used to observe the drivers on the road
rubber necking just to get a glimpse of her
after all, she did have a certain glow about her 
 
her eyes, although they sparkled
there was a sense of great pain inside them
painted tears on her cheeks
even though they weren’t really there
I could see them, even from afar
 
one day out of nowhere
we bumped into each other
her painted tears nowhere to be seen
just a magnificent smile
she hugged me
and just then I knew…
 
she was actually my Angel.

Well I have to say my dear friend the end surprised me though, being somewhat acquainted with your writing now, maybe I should have seen it coming. I thought it was sort of going down the "Tears of a Clown" route, the Smokey Robinson song but, to borrow one of your words, kudos to you for surprising me. 
I really like the first line being a question. Maybe that should have given me a sign but I can be a bit dim this early in the morning, well all day actually. 
I also like, though it's tinged with sadness, the painted tears on her cheeks.
wheels.
Lovely story, beautifully told. 🌹
