Familiar face

you were perfect
in every way
i remember the first day i met you
white shirt and skater boy dickie pants
and through the laughing i remember a fountain
a fountain that carried my wishes

I remember me as well
brown stringy hair and a magenta sweater

She was gorgeous
in every way
her skin was flawless and her eyes ......
they were like pools you could dive in, and mine were brown like dirt

I remember your car
and the way you'd stand in the hallways
and how i would muster up as much courage as i could to speak to you
and i couldn't...so i'd stand by

YOu were handsome.
you wore an "irish hat"
you were on your way to see Miss Gorgeous
I was wearing an apron caked with batter and grease...like my face
but you still smiled and gave me a hug

I remember your face
I remember how crushed it was
I remember not knowing what to do but watch you
and grateful you had friends who loved you

i took my stringy hair
and dirty eyes and cleaned them up

I may have cleaned them too well

I wonder what it would be like had I waited to share my golden moments with you
and not with anyone else
and i wonder if i ever will.
i hope
but not tormented.

I think of you often,

sincerely,

your familiar face.
