Laughter

I was young
I was foolish
You were young
You were beautiful
The first time we met
We laughed
I couldn't help it
I sat behind you in class
And when class was over
You turned around and
When your eyes caught my eyes
I laughed
You were surprised
But then you laughed
And I knew it was OK...
Then it was time for me to say goodbye
I was returning to my home country
You asked
I didn't understand
Then, you said
"Easy Come, Easy Go."
I was offended
But You didn't understand...
It's been 14 years
And I still tuck you
In the secret place of my heart
For when things get tough
And I want to cry
That's when I think of you
And I laugh.
