My Old Flame

He had me at first glance

His name was William

But I called him Billy

So did everyone else

Billy had the curliest blonde hair I had ever seen

And the bluest eyes, too

His freckles only added to his allure

And his smile was to die for


Billy was a man of few words--shy, you might say

To a fault, you might say

Boring you might also say

But that didn't matter at the time

He was the cutest I had ever seen

And that counted for a lot back then

But cute doesn't cut it if that's all

And that was about all there was to Billy.


Our romance didn't last long--about one week, as I recall

Love is fickle

So was Billy

He was also five

So was I

Wherever you are, Billy

I don't care about you anymore

But I still remember you

Happy Valentine's Day!

  2. Great poam! I would like to also send one almost like that to Penny. We were 12, and held hands all summer. Then she was gone.
    Happy Valentine's day Penny.
