I remember falling for Martha hard,
It was in the first grade and she was sweet.
If only then I could write like the bard,
Write her love sonnets would make me complete.
But another beauty did smile at me,
Marilyn was her name, she was a cute,
But I was so shy, couldn't find the key,
She smiled at me; all I could do was hoot.
Oh, then came Mitzi giving me the look,
I was in a flux, knew not what to do.
Wrote I love you to them all in my book,
First grade fantasies, their pictures I drew.
I inscribed their names, called them my three M's,
And I secretly loved them, my three femmes.

Ah young love, so sweet. Good write Jerry.
It was nice going back, remembering my crush on this boy in 6th grade, I never told him I was to shy. Hmmm...wonder whatever happened to him?

He may be thinking of you as you are thinking of him, dreamgal, you never know. I kept a crush on these three girls all through high school until graduation. I, too, was too intimidated for many reason (home life for one) to make the moves.

Oh I remember in high school, (He ended up being my boyfriend) but he had a crush on me and I think like you Jerry he was just to nervous to tell me, it was sweet he would wait near my last class of the day,
and finally I said why did you do that? And he said I thought you were pretty and every day I would try and get the nerve up to ask you out. I ended up asking my friend to set us up. I guess I was shy too, plus I never believed in me asking a boy out, it would have to be him (or me of course setting it up) lol ahhh the innocence of it all..
Nice walk down memory lane thanks Jerry!

Jerry, You pay them an honour by remembering them after all the time that's passed.  Growing up wasn't easy, was it?  Enjoyed your words as usual.

DP, you rascal you . . .

Thank you a bunch, Lori, for your comment and just being here.

Hah! dreamgal, that's funny, especially since it was so much later in yours and his life. Never fear love finds a way, an, in this care it meant "setting it up."

Appreciate the kind words, Helen, as I always do when I see your name in the comment box.
