What Would Have Happened?
Whatever happened to you?
So many years ago
More than I want to count
I looked into your eyes
There was a sweetness there
Everyone saw it
I brought it into me and my heart smiled
I listened to you talk
Your voice made me melt
I wanted you in my life
You made me who I am
But we were barely out of grammar school
We had no idea what love was
Always told we were to young
Told that it was just puppy love
No one knew how I felt
I couldn’t even tell you
I waited for you
That was years before my first kiss
By then you were gone
Moved to another town
So many miles away
Memories lasted many years
But my life went on
As did yours
Sometimes I think back
Those days we spent together
On the swings
Holding hands
The notes we passed under our desks
All gone now
Faded memories
Questions
What would have happened with one kiss?
A sign of love between two children
Would it have hurt?
Or would it be the one memory that never faded?
