Love Child
One Love
Ahhh I remember the days of youth
when my friend and I
used to sit on the porch
sipping our ice tea
with the sun on our faces
I would tell a joke about the days before I went to church
and she would look at me with a disdainful eye
then I would either become annoyed
or I would exagerate the story more.
Then she would tell me her foolish dreams
of having a boyfriend
and the perfect life
and I would wonder
which of us
was more pure?
