Name

She went crazy over him, for years
And counting.
Someone she loved in her imagination,
But could never see.
She still loves the way he walked.
But hadn't seen him walking.
Talk about total recall!
Just the mention of his name made her smile...
In a way that took her back to yesteryears.
And as the wind shook the trees on that hot
Summer day in June.
She wondered why she had given that boy
So much of her time?
How many poems and stories rested on him?
How many restless nights?
Was he the hero or the villain?
She didn't know anymore.
She didn't want to know.
She just wanted to not be excited when she heard his name.
