'sweethearts Once Again' - a Collaboration With Celene Crescent

School days indeed such memories they are Some stayed close to home, whilst some travelled afar But where of my first love, where did she go Our first dance together when I was her Beau The lovely Olivia, long brown hair, petite Will she be at the reunion, will we again meet I still remember the day into the distance she went To University,beyond, I still sense her perfumed scent Butterflies, trepidation, after all these years The evening is soon upon me, I'm nervous for tonight's fears What if she is there, will she remember her first Beau I'll only ever know, to the local hotel I now go I take a familiar path, we walked it so many times Retracing past moments with her, our footsteps so in rhyme Through the doors I go, so many faces from my past I see I don't see Olivia, but so many say hello to me I have never forgotten your eyes, blue as the sea Through the crowds I could see you staring at me Could be after so many years so far away? That a candle still flickers in our dark destiny? You reached closer to me, amongst many friends I wondered how it felt to be touched once again by your hands Allured by each others silence under an ocean of stars In the same spot where the prom boy once asked me to dance

Big congratulations to you and Celene for this awesome collaboration. I can't tell who wrote which verses and I am intrigued by the thought of someone trying to reconnect with a schoolmate they once loved. Awesome writing, my friends. Love, Carolyn
