These two were truly innocents—
She liked a game called House.
He loved to roam the open fields.
She had blue eyes, a complexion as pure as air
And hair that was a pretty cornsilk yellow.
His sandy, unkempt hair blended
With freckled arms and face and hazel eyes.
They gravitated toward each other
As trees reach out to the sun.
Holding hands, they romped across the fields,
Sometimes skipping as if in a game.
One time she impulsively kissed him.
So startled was he that he pulled away
Reminded of that aunt who always kissed
With warm wet kisses.
Yet, this one kiss was so different.
He leaned across towards her and quickly
Pecked her with the lightest of kisses.
Abashed, he hugged himself.
But she just laid her blond head on him
And quietly said, “I love you, Joe.”
