You were the boy
Who dared to love me
With your own heart at risk
And a future you couldn’t see
We were both so young
At only ten years old
As you gazed at me
Your heart was eternally sold
A secret you kept inside
In your heart hidden so well
Until a letter in my school locker
Your dearest of confessions to tell
You wrote you’d always love me
For all of your days
You’d always remember
The way I smiled that way
I must admit
You had me in surprise
Suddenly I remembered
A long ago look in your eyes
And a day we played golf
A father/daughter father/son golf game
Your letter explained your shyness that day
When I suddenly called your name
And then I moved away
Leaving you behind
Please forgive me for not saying goodbye
For I was at a loss of words to find
I often think of the “what ifs”
If I’d not moved away
If you’d still care for me?
Still love me today
But I know
By now, you’ve more than likely
Grown up and married
Forgotten all about me
In life love comes and goes
But only one will be true
One will stand out from the rest
Oh yes, I still remember you
