Poem for #9

I played damsel in distress to get your attention
It worked

Nights of a moonlit lake
Hands clutched together
Floating in the depth
We kissed with our heads above water
As our bodies danced below

I found poetry in the atmosphere
You knew nothing of poetry

Days of scorching Florida sun
Boiled peanuts
Grilled corn
Ice cream floats

Riding behind you on a jet ski
My chest bouncing against your back

We snuck away to secret coves
Canopies of trees and moss

I was attracted to your father
I tried to seduce his attention
You were oblivious

I ignored you the day I meant to say goodbye
It hurt
