Never handsome
yet had something
his few all head turners
naive blushed easy
kissed gentle no tongue
held hands never groping
none kept him for long
college bus heard whispers
he the slow one kind though
the one they said “I wouldn’t marry”
one kept to herself “I will one day”

you are very observant and I am feeling rather emphatic too, all traits of a really good writer Eric.

It’s quite a strange thing – the things you remember – how they once felt – how they do now now you know yourself – at least more than you once did…

its like the stories we read when we were younger, it seems there was so much we misunderstood then or even misinterpret now than our perception before. the mind is a labyrinth that the heart can never quite level up to. its’s empathy truthfully.
