Oh Kathy Jean I dreamed
We were in a musical

We were done with high school
And bound to be grounded each
To another with whom neither
Of us was even comfortable

Linda who much later
After it was over went on
To become a world renowned
Professor of drama finally came
To understand I only loved you

And through a crowd of grads
Ran and helped me pin American flags
To their tall respective poles
There was a war

And I flew
Literally frantically swam
Limbs stroking as fast as I could
Through the damp thick summer air

And there you were
Fending off your fiancé in a car

Probably an Olds  And I tore off the door
And he disappeared

And we kissed and kissed and kissed
Our passionate kissing our intimate song

I couldn’t let fear determine our lives

We were young
We were in love
That’s how it was

Or should have been
The end
