Untitled No. 15

When I'm with you,

I don't quite breathe right

and I feel as though I'm

not simply 17.

I don't feel my age at all.

Fitzgerald once said

"We all have souls of

different ages"

and with you I feel

my proper age,

whatever that may be.

When I'm near you,

I can feel my heartbeat in my brain

and hear the butterflies in my stomach.
