Now we can hold hands

I'll be back before it gets dark after we get tired of playing king of the hill. Sun sets so late in summer against the willows.. sometimes I forget. No, it just isn't so. I don't always choose them over you, 'course I could never tell you that. You're a girl, a special one. But I can't tell you that either. Still, when you told me your stomach hurt, and I was the reason.. I believed you. Don't know what to say, never seem to 'cept maybe 'Sorry you feel bad, I know that place too.' 'Put your sandals on, I'll walk you home we can go slow.' Oh alright - looks over her shoulder to the gang 'now we can hold hands.'

The intricacies of friendship, young love, and the associated emotional challenges are all explored in this excellent poem. It portrays the naiveté and ambiguity of youth, when emotions are frequently spoken or misinterpreted, and a strong desire for connection is evident.
