Puppy love?
Loving from afar

Somewhere in a pumpkin shell
the world is always right.
One can live in fantasy
and dream to his delight.
-
I was only ten years old
she was seventeen.
I was still in grammar school
she was the high school queen.
-
Though she never knew my name
she was my shining star.
In my world of make believe
I loved her from afar.
-
Puppy love so some have said
is just a passing thing.
But when I was just a boy
I caught it every Spring.
