Ok, y'all, this is truly scary poetry! (lol) I found this collecting dust in an old box in the attic. This is the very first poem I wrote, not counting assignments for school. I must have been all of twelve (boy, do I feel old! lol) I wrote this about my first real girlfriend, Sandy McKitrick. Her and I were truly opposites and none of our friends could understand what we saw each in each other. This poem was written in response to that opinion. (be gentle - I was a fledgling writer just trying out my new wings lol)

Look at us now
Are we getting older or younger?
What I see in the mirror
doesn't match what the rest of the world sees
But you see me
And that's all that matters

Look at us now
Hey, don't we look neat together?
Let the rest of the world
think we're strange as three-dollar bills
We see each other
And that's all that matters

Look at us now
Living out our private daydreams
Who is to say that dreams
only exist in the minds of children?
We see our dreams
And that's all that matters

So look at us in fifty years
When you've gotten older and grayer
And ask yourself
what you think you see in our childish smiles?
Because we'll still see each other
And y'all better ask each other
Isn't that what truly matters?

Simple words but full of a message
And that's all that matters
