A long-ago world
In Days of innocence
And a wondrous summer
We stood on the cusp
Of loves first
awakening
When feeling awkward
and gawky
We took our first
faltering steps
In the realm of love
Wearing swim shorts
And self-conscious
blushes
It was a guiltless
time
When holding hands
Was a physical
pleasure
And stolen kisses
Seemed to last forever
If I had the presence
of mind
I would have bottled
that summer
And when I felt
Tarnished by the world
I would take a long
sip
And be refreshed
