      The Class of ??????

Do you remember the wanting
when we were young and so in love?
Well perhaps me more wanting
in the night with stars above.

The top back or windows down
whichever suits our fancy.
The things we did and some we thought
the risks and things so chancy.

The moonlight kiss and holding hands
at a drive-in picture show.
Others all around the same,
movies missed we�ll never know.

The popcorn in the seat and
taste of butter on your lips.
Sitting side by side with
soda straws taking sips.

Your father wanting you home by nine
we always made it ten.
I never made it to your door
as the light was never dim.

The curtain quickly closed and
we knew we were watched.
Stammering for a stolen kiss
but another one I botched.

Hay rides for a social
be it church or for the school.
And I the clown and cut up
always played the fool.

You slapping my face when we first met
for something wrong in class I said.
The resounding ringing in my ears,
and wishing I were dead.

Then several years of dating
an me working for your dad.
You moved away untouched by me
and of this I�m still glad.

Not that I didn�t try
but your values were so strong.
So I adhered to your wishes some
and I knew you were not wrong.

Now the years have passed so long
I still yearn for those days.
Losing track of classmates,
friends, and you and along the way.

I like you would change it now
had we done it all again.
But being kids we always started
never thinking about the end.

Should you read this someday
though I doubt you ever will.
But if you should I�ve not forgot
I think about you still.
