My Little Friend

My warped and worried mind resorts

To wandering off to ponder things I never talked about

A pretty girl I used to know

But wouldn't know if we met face to face

And defying every logic known

I wish the time machine could take me back again

To the wonder of my first love

The old folks teased me 'bout

Referring to her only as my little friend

Somewhere far away and maybe not so far away

A child has grown into a woman of the world

I assumed this knowing that she knew

So much of life at such a tender age

I learned from her the whisped things

The big boys at the pool hall talked about

The thrill and disappointment fear and shame

That first love brings

But oh how I thought I loved my little friend

The fragrance of the green grass

Mingled with the scent of love and womanhood

A moonlight night I kissed and cried

And swore I'd never touch another girl

But time moved fast and I moved on

And I loved others time and time again

But with each time I thought of her

And always gave a little more

A symbol of remembrance for my little friend

A symbol of remembrance for my little friend

A symbol of remembrance for my little friend

A symbol of remembrance
