A long time
ago
when I was
a teenager,
I had a
wonderful,
tender-hearted
girlfriend.
She was patient.
I was wide
awake, and green
as a frog.
She said,
don\'t rub it so
hard, you will
hurt it.
Think of it as
a new toy you
discovered.
It\'s small, and
you need to be
careful.
It isn\'t a
pimple that
you are
trying to pop.
I can still smell
her hair, lilacs and
pond water.
And on gentle summer
nights, I hope someone
is being kind to
her love button.
