That Teen Girl

She was fair, with a sly smile never knew if she was mocking you Her hair short Her face boyish Her eyes deep blue so deep your soul could swim in them A skinny teen girl dressed plain, no makeup, but still appealing Her shape not through forming Her temper flares Her temperament subtle Cautious with her knew she could be quick with a put down Still as a teen boy I liked her not knowing why We were friends as much as awkward youth allowed close not really, but comfortable Hanging out not doing much but I liked not doing much being with her figured she felt the same for me At school we were unknown to each other by chance we said hello if we met After school we would talk on the phone hang out at McDonalds sipping coffee like we liked it Being together at the park, studying at the library Summers we would go swimming neither of us were that sexy but she appealed to me That teen girl at times we would talk we would talk and talk about nothing it always meant something to me Life was shrugging along never thought about tomorrow wanting to forget yesterday but by being together today was okay Those ungainly years of trouble youth with that teen girl were okay.
