school lovers

fiction made up but romantic.

There they stood

as thousands had

up the aisle as one

down the aisle

newly wed as two

but one

if you know what i mean

He was her first and only love

he knew he loved her

from the time he saw

her in 6th grade

way back

with her giggly freckles

and little 6inch plaits

of golden brown hair

they were friends

good friends

played monopoly

cluedo

cards

hide and seek

their parents watched

they approved over tea

and biscuits then

then high school came

they still friends

but then one night at a school

formal you know

she looked so lovely

in her pink sheer dress

her hair all up

her earings gold

her mothers necklace

that she told

he walked her home

she knew he had changed

he began to stutter

stand at her gate

ill see you tomorrow

ok

said she

she turned to go

he held her hand

they locked eyes

two 16 year olds

the rest is history

he loved her then

she loved him back

no one knew when it changed

but they did

they knew it was that night

he first kissed her at her garden gate

the jasmin scent

the roses bent

the moon up high

the starry sky

the years went on

they were the item

of that senior high school year

they never stopped

to think that there would be any

other

that they would marry

it was almost expected

the day they married

they knew their vows

their mums had showed

them when and how

all was good

till there he stood

he began to stutter lose his

voice

till he saw her come down

the aisle

she was dressed as  an angel white

in gown of satin

virgin white

the years went slowly

but quickly by

they had their kids one by one

so 4 they had

all grown up

and one still a lad

so the motto of this story is

if you know true love

hold on to it fast

no matter how young you are

your love will last

that giggly freckled blue eyed girl

with the little winsome curl

he loved her then

aged only ten or twelve

she knew she would marry him

one day and that was true alright

she just didnt know

when or how

but she looks down on photo albums now

a tear in eye

her kids all gone

have left her nest

and in that urn

on the piano now

lies her husband

her soul mate

she loved the best

shes glad that she knew him when

he was just a lad of ten

she has the pictures of him and her

way back then

life is hard life is cruel

but she loved her boy her man

she met at school
