The sunlight sparkled
On the shallow river
On the bridge the two lovers stood
Although they weren’t lovers yet
And in fact they never would be
But she did not know that then
And her heart was full of gratitude
She felt beautiful
And although she was young
They could kiss
And stay in a deep embrace
And it felt more wonderful
Than childhood Christmases
From not so long ago
She couldn’t really describe the flood of emotion,
The power she thought she had
Only you can never see inside another’s head
She wasn’t good at reading the energy of another yet
What she experienced as joy
Was felt by him as not quite right
Well not enough certainly
He wanted more
She was too young
He couldn’t tell her yet.
He’d write her a letter maybe
He didn’t know what to do really
He could tell that she would break
