That first day when she arrived
In a town no longer familiar
That she would soon reacquaint herself with
How as she crossed the wide street
There was a young boy right behind her
With a clean face, caramel skin and a dimple in his chin
He wore a cap that was folded more so in the center
Shielding his face the same way
That the clouds were hiding the sun
With a plaid shirt in shades of blue and white
And perhaps a little earthy green
Before she knew it they were walking up
To the same doorstep
Well what a surprise that was
A pleasant one at that
Outside she kept cool and said hello
Not too much but just enough
Inside though
She kept telling herself
'well hello mister, what is your name?'
How could she not?
She was 17 and thought to have found
The love of her life
But it wasn't so
Through out her vacation
They came to talk but nothing ever happened
Perhaps a few stolen stares here and there
But that what was it
Then after 10 years
She still felt it
That giddy feeling
As their eyes met
She was hoping his smile would come with some words
An I like you at that
But that just might be too much
And so after pleasantries were exchanged
It all remained the same
17 all over again
con el amor por dentro (keeping her love secretly hidden)
She couldn't tell him
She wouldn't tell him
But she could still feel it
