Wholesome Girl Poem by Lorene Kinsey

First time in a corvette, took me for a drive
To the next town showcasing progress
of the restoration he and his dad had made.
Loved the way the back end dropped,
Hugged the road at take off, through the curves.

Always an effort to impress, without pressing for more.
Shy with one another, never at ease to explore,
Always suspecting him a “player”, keeping distance.
Crossed paths as adults, still respectful, kind.

Thirteen years to see more clearly, make sense
Of our brief time together as young teens
How lucky I was that he had an innocent,
Untouchable impression of me.
