Facts of life

Stephanie Price.
I was always a magnet
for red hair and freckles.
We stood at the edge of the playground
of West Heath Junior School
as I explained the facts of life.
It wasn't my choice to move.
I would have liked our relationship
to develop further.
We would be either end of a bus ride.
We had our lives ahead of us.
The Beatles had not yet released
their first single.
