Ordinary Song
Just an ordinary song
Relating a story of two people
Who met in high school and catches up after 39 years.
In high school
Boy likes girl
But so scared to share feelings and thoughts
Thinks he was inadequate.
Girl has a crush on the boy in third year
And watches him daily
Shocking! Girl’s close friend develops crush on boy.
Girl is devastated
Relents to close friend for loyalty’s sake
Girl shifts attention to boy’s friend.
After College
Boy with high school friends
Visit girl and spends a whole day together
Memories kept in thought and in photographs.
Group walking and snacking in Burnham
Spending time church and folk den
Day closed with group in girl’s home.
Girl was glad and expectant
Nothing happens
Nothing develops, each to it’s own.
Reunions
1999 class reunion
all now matured men and women
confident, accomplished and joyous.
39 years after
In Desongbird cafe
Man dedicates song to woman
And says “it never was infatuation.”
Woman was speechless
Warm feeling flooding – wasted years when
Realized life would have been more beautiful and meaningful.
It becomes an inspiration
Something to treasure for life
Love is wonderful that spans decades.
