Sentimental (with audio)

I loved her once – 
her lips soft as cappuccino froth 
laughter like a bell chime calling me to church

She kissed me once – 
pressed her chest against mine 
sighed into my mouth until her mother called her home

I cried over her once – 
she wed the man who lived next door 
while my mother patted my hand and called me sentimental
