238. Venturing into a new terrain.

In a younger class

Our paths only cross

Across the quadrangle or

In school corridors.

Enough to connect.

First steps into the boy/girlfriend terrain,

A romantic “novitiate”.

Protected.

By youth & naivete.

Enamoured through simple, innocent discoveries

Beaming smile, mischievous eyes, slight accent,

Entrancing, enlivening.

A precious time of light-hearted joy.

Note:

I debated myself about identifying individuals appearing in my Short Memories. In most cases I will but in Memories of this nature I thought it best to preserve anonymity unless I get the all clear from the unnamed.

By the way, anyone who wants to remind me of things, or add to, embellish, or correct these Memories … please feel free to contact me or add a comment.
