15

with you
I'm 15 again
lush, ripe and waiting
gawky, anxious, unsure
racing from the gates of childhood
toward eighteen-the promised land.
I'd never been touched
til you touched me
no kiss ever left a mark
like yours.
I'm innocent
the jaded cynical woman
slips away
and this bouncy, hopeful girl
takes her place.
You take me places I used to be
and show me what I missed.
You make me blush
you make me burn
you make me live.
