I wrote the below poem 19 years ago on an Apple 2E computer for my first love, Lisa, and gave it to her for Valentine's day.
We lost touch shortly after graduating college in 2001.
“how do I feel about you"
02-14-1996
How do I feel about you?
the last 9 years we shared a word
the last 3 years on the phone
once a week
every day
every night
20 minutes
we walked through hell and we ran through heaven
together, you and me
7 boyfriends and one me
where do I stand
9 years has past and 90 more to come
keep the faith
I can still remember
when we were just kids
Bar mitzvah, farm, baseball game,
Bon Jovi , Temple and my junior senior prom
those were the best times of my life
High school, college, law school, a lawyer
high school, college, a teacher
Chocolate, purple, little children, Reebok, Sony, jewelry,
red roses, Boyz II Men, hockey and football
Baseball, Nolan Ryan, Mets, basketball, Jason Kidd,
football, 49ers, Davis/Waters, Hockey, Penguins, Gretzy,
New Edition, Patient, Chinese food, salad, red
Likes to Life
broken wrist from ice skating, teeth pulled, my operation and now, now this mono
life is a game
this game is cruel
sure you had enough
keep the faith
I will always love you
Her voice, her hugs, her talks, a shoulder
I like to hold her
a story, a secret
let's keep it
She knows when I lie
she swore, she cried
I heard it all
from her weakest to her strongest times
a friend, a best friend
she heard my tears and
and she wiped away my fears
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Birthday,
and Happy Yew Year
5-3, why can I not see
long hair, short hair, I don't care
He can take my vision
He can take my hearing
but he can't take you
a small package, a big motivator
A little pretty girl, a young mature woman
