Actually...you meant much more to me than that.
You used to sit, those years in school...always so sad and
beautiful and shy...
and you lived across the orchards....I loved the dusty walk on
what was it? Bonnie Brae?
and your parents Lincoln...
and your swimming pool...
and the night Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash sang "Lay Lady
Lay"...and we did.
We were so young..
You bought me a forty-five of "Honky Tonk Woman"
and yes, long after we loved or something at my family's empty
house...I think my heart was empty too...by then.
but you know...I loved you once as a young man...and love you
still in that strange mist of memory.
and I'd love to see you sometime...you today...
