My School-Time Crush
In nineteen-fifty-six, my school-time crush
and I loved to exchange sweet notes each day,
when meeting by our lockers 'tween each class,
or walking to my next one on his way.
He was a senior...I, a junior, then;
our notes confirmed to meet right after school,
or plan our dates for coming weekend fun...
each sealed with hearts and kisses...very cool.
You see, this was my first and only crush,
who after all these years...still is the best.
In nineteen-fifty eight, I, then eighteen,
and he, at twenty-one, were married...blessed.
And so, that's all I have to say on this...
when best is found, there is no other bliss.

Note:
I attended an all-girl high school,
(first two years), and he, an all-boy
high school (first three years) prior
to our meeting. We had both switched
to public school, unbeknownst to each
other, and that is when we met. So I
believe fate brought us together!
