though my memory of you is hazy
i think i was maybe ten
when i knew you
i was too young for romantic love
when i knew you
but i do remember vaguely
when i used to walk you home
and how it felt so good talking to you
and that you were a pretty girl
even though i can’t remember
what we talked about
i just remember how nice you were
and how nice it felt being with you
i have no memories of you
after those walks
when we both were about ten
and maybe almost had
a crush on each other
that we were to young
to do anything about
i just remembered you today
for the first time in decades
and i am wondering
whatever happened to you
and hoping you are still
alive and healthy and
are having a great life
or if you are no
longer living
i hope you had
a wonderful life
