Sweet As Pie

Growing up together
for a short while
in my home
a daycare setting
over the moon
a sort of swoon

after a holiday break
Ronnie and Zach
attack each other’s lips
with a kiss
sweet as pie
it’s still in my mind’s eye

i saw Ronnie at the library
when i first started there
she was a teen
i recognized the street
she lived on
from off her i.d.

i saw Zach on t.v.
he was in a dancing contest
i remember his candy frenzy
he was like the energizer bunny
and there he was with a girl
in his arms
not his first love
i knew who that was

Lovely memories... ! When people mature prefrences change and love too grows from 'puppy love' to a permanent affair. Beautiful poem, dear Kim.

Enjoyed reading. So funny how we start young with friends and ideas then change as we grow older.

It was a pleasure to read this. It's fascinating to see how individuals develop their independence and discover new lovers, but I am constantly wondering if the memory of their initial romantic happiness ever fades.

I enjoyed reading this one. Amazing how people go their own ways and find someone new, but I always wonder if that first love remains in their heart forever. Thanks for sharing this one and for visiting my page. Sara

I too wonder! Are our days of youth just for learning or do they mean more? Do we remember when we are in eternity?
