8th & Ring:  Do You Remember Me?

8th & Ring: Do You Remember Me?

A Poem by Elton Williams III
"

I can remember my first crush vividly.

"

Summer days makes moves swiftly

As day switches to night hot and thick

Come morning time in the dawn

A dawn at last I see you

You weren’t tired or weak

Only aware and eager to finally see the day

You wore your energy well

Made me blush at the sight

Fresh jeans and sneaks

Jacket lay right on your shoulders

My admiration was deep but clear

Visible as the sun

You knew me well and I couldn’t deny

Sipping kool-aid after school

Shooting hoops around the corner

Heman and Transformers clashing into bedtime

You knew my name

Family and birth given name

You knew me well, better than I

Quiet under the sheets

Warm summer night became my memory forever

You knew me well, at the slightest touch

Well enough to name me love
