One Moment (for Veronica)

Love poem

When I was a senior
You were a sophomore

You were so beautiful-
Long dark hair
Long legs
Copper colored skin
And eyes like headlights
Racing at you
At over 100 miles per hour

You dated some of my friends
Everyone wanted a piece of you
I never got the chance to ask

But we shared one moment
That I've never forgotten
Although you probably have -
I don't blame you if you have

We both played goalie
For intramural hockey and
You needed help with your
Goalie pads

I knelt on the ground before you -
Straight up - hard-core goddess
Helped you put them on
Making the other guys looking on...jealous
Because I was closer to heaven
Than they would ever be
