love story 01

a teen story…

I met you at the ice rink
that summer
ending high-school semesters
later than the team
we trained together
alone
while others
summer camped
somewhere

I fell in love with that short hair
of yours
revealing what I thought was
the most beautiful neck

I never told you that

we ran
we talked
we watched movies

it took months
before I draw you pictures
and wrote that letter
being open ‘bout my feelings

I got to know
what’s like
to get in the friend-zone
playing cavalier
for years
with the girl that inspired me

never got
good enough for you

…mid-twenties
out of the blue
you wrote me about the guy
who was about to merry you

how strange I thought

now
in our thirties…

you have two sons
I have a daughter
when we meet
we exchange parenting advice
and share fitness experience
as sports and skating
still play important role in our lives
