Teenage love


Thunder of my heart's beat
As you walked down the street
Chatting, teasing that other boy

 T'was your eyes and your nose
Your cheek, the tint of rose
I loved the way you flicked your hair

 You glanced at me just one time
Then smiled, it was sublime
Later said he was your cousin Jack

 Soon we were a pigeon pair
Holding hands in my care
Teenage love such a wondrous time

 Sadly it did not last
For weeks I was downcast
How could I manage without you?

 Then Rosalind appeared
She and I just adhered
'Til the day it came unstuck

 Such was my teenage love
That game of push and shove
Oh to have have it over again!

    Ahh. It sounds like a surprisingly happy flow of attraction. anticipation, jealousy, joy and pain.

    I knew your poem would make me smile. I had a hard time handling that teenage angst, it all seemed like life and death back then.

    Ah! I rather missed out on those teenage romances.
    A lovely portrayal of the innocence of bonds made at that time.
