358 you and i shared a swing set

358

you and i shared a swing set

with a few kids from the neighborhood,

you going so high, and i think i like

to stand next to you instead of swing myself

so i can watch your hair melt in the wind,

and see your laughter and try to touch you as

you fly past, my excuse to help you go a little higher

we found a tree to hide behind so our new friends

at the playground wouldn’t catch us kissing

they sang a teasing song,

but we just grinned because it’s true

all the time feeling that perhaps

we were kids again
