The first time
she giggled and I blushed
I remember the heat on the
back of my neck
when I realized
she could see my
excitement
was about her.
expressive eyes.
I remember wanting
all of my words
to move her,
let her decide
if I was worth her
attention
or a passing fantasy.
We would walk in woods
together in hand
imagining only the
real where we stood
in wonder.
I remember glancing
at moons
where by then
she brought me in her backyard
with the sounds in a nighttime sky
outside her
bedroom window.
There have been
now
those moments
when s full moon
will let me feel her
by my side.
I remember wishing every memory
I have with her remain only our own.
