Young Love Was Fleeting Poem by Joyce Hemsley

Their affair was nearing its end.
To hours of romance they said 'amen'
Never poetic and vaguely synthetic
'Twas an off and on kind of blend.
~~forever on lease and lend~~

She regards him now as a friend,
Very little she knows of other men.
He regards her as a pearl
A young and sweet innocent girl.

Keepsakes to each other they send
Staying 'just friends' to the end.
First love was fleeting ~ a high and
low sweeting. Young love was fickle
~~forever on lease and lend~~
