I Fell for Him in Summer
A love that never was...

first love should not be a bane of senses,
but I was a kid who knew no better
because he shattered all my defenses:
I forgot my name down to the letter.
*
he was that boy who gave me time of day—
the jock, the cool kid, charmer incarnate—
and I didn't know then what I might pay
just to have him as my own for a date.
*
his calming manner soothed me in soft waves,
like caresses of skin at touch of dusk,
and I knew the kind of love note that saves
though I thought heartbreak would leave me a husk.
*
but I didn't give him chance to say no
because I gave up before he could know.
