Jane-Ann Poem by Matt Mondschein

you say you kissed me
way back then
I said I don't recall
exactly when

yet it must have been
so sincere and sweet
nearly forty years later
again we meet

I pecked you
on your delectable
tasting cheek
my soul did leap

childhood friends, we were
at school your giddy smile
caught my eyes
roaming the hallways

though we never dated
I wish we had
perhaps my life
would'nt have been
so bad

memories of you
at the school reunion
your loving smile
stayed for the longest while

until we depart this earth
I know I have a friend in you
I'll never forget, my little pain
and never forget my friend
named JANE
