| “Juliet”
I am young and in love. I wonder about marriage. I hear a light footstep. I see a handsome gentleman. I want to kiss him. I am young and in love. I pretend to be asleep. I feel his hot breath. I touch his face. I worry about him leaving. I cry softly ‘Don’t go’. I am young and in love. I understand about love. I say it’s from the Lord. I dream about marriage. I try to understand. I hope someday I do. I am young and in love. Megan Delia Ratcliff Spring 1994 |
