High School Love Story

August 22, 2020
By Anonymous

Those first secret glances,
That everyone but you noticed,
Those first moments of attraction,
That made every other one awkward,

A new world opens up,
One you knew existed,
One you had always seen,
But it feels so different to how you’d expect,

It feels dangerous and euphoric,
Fast paced, a whirlwind romance,
Flew by in the summer months,
Doomed to fail from the start,

Secret caresses under the desk,
Awkward moments of closeness,
Veiled in silent embarrassment,
It’s a new feeling,

It’s not love but it feigns it so well,
It’s a new feeling in a new world,
A whirlwind of emotion,
To teach you what not to do,

Those summer months show you what love isn’t,
Give you some good memories of this euphoric bliss,
For real love is not so simple,
Those summer months are simply a high school love story,
