A Girls Teen Dream

Was recalling being just thirteen, Riding on my Schwinn, it was a metallic green. To flirt with Tommy,the boy of my dreams. More delicious than my favorite ice cream. I wonder...was he as good as he seemed? I’ll never know, we never were a love team. I still think he’s better than whipped cream. Tommy, that blue eyed, dream of a teem! 10/31/2021

so cute. This reminds me of MY teen days. I had a similar bike but it was purple and I had the biggest crush on Dan Olsen, a blonde blue eyed kid who never gave me the time of day. Others too like him. it would have been nice to have had one of those guys as a boyfriend!!

Parallel worlds—I had a Schwinn—and married a blue-eyed Tommy :) Enjoyed this walk down memory lane.

Hi Panagiota mou, teen years are special years this is so cute and I have faved it because it reminds me of my teen years. Living in Zambia my father seconded by the British army - he was a Captain. Our neighbors a lovely Scots family visited each other often, A romance was budding between their 16 year old son and a 15 year old girl. They were moving back to Scotland but Peter would not leave without me, wanted to marry me our parents convinced us we were babies, broke our hearts. Hugs Jenn

Jennifer mou. Greetings. Thank you for FAVING this. Such dear and sweet years they were. No matter what continent, we learn from these early relationships...I love your story about Peter. Thank you for sharing with all..how painful that must have been for you and Peter. As my poem says..this was just first experiences in having feelings for the opposite sex. That’s all. But we’ll remembered.your heart and mine stayed whole, We married and had children OPA! With hugs, Panagiota

We all had those teen dreams and when you look back you often think of them and wonder how their lives turned out. Tom

Tom...I explained to others what happened to Tommy. Please see my other replies. I rarely think of my early years in terms of love. There was much to come later...far more exciting. Tom is succusful, married and his daughters go the same HS, I did. One of the top HS.s in Illinois. Woo hoo.... Panagiota

Hi Belle! Appreciate your read and honesty. Tommy is a lawyer and does good works for humanity. God had more men planned for me. That were total delights. A few goofs, thrown in, that I learned from. I regret nothing.....hugs, Pangie

Yep, Schwinn was every poor boys dream. Surprised he did not offer to kiss you just for a ride. Finally built my own out of junk parts. I remember that bright green well -- oh how beautiful the gleam! "I wonder...was he as good as he seemed?" Probably not...who is? But it is so nice to poetically wonder. Excellent nostalgic write.

Schwinn made high end BIKES fOR girls, too,DAD bought me one with headlamps and a horn that was great. That boy is a bald lawyer today.and a philanthropist. I see him still as 13. He made a handsome altar boy, too. Ah, nostalgia. Pangiehugs to to and Ila...both royalty. Pangie
