Luna, come out and play; <br />We’ll do everything like yesterday, <br />We’ll bike ride down twisting streets <br />Of the neighborhood. <br />I would always let you take the lead <br />In order to gaze at your shimmering ponytail. <br />Every slight bounce and charming sway <br />Felt like love. <br />I often wondered then <br />If we were not more than best friends? <br /> <br />In July, we would drink <br />Your mother’s lemonade <br />And get sun burnt by the pool; <br />I had to laugh at your kid brother <br />Who considered me such a fool <br />For never letting you out of my sight. <br /> <br />Meet me at the library, <br />We’ll sit out front on the soft grass. <br />Wear your summer shorts and sandals. <br />I don’t care who’s watching, <br />I’ll kiss your ankles until I’m high and dreaming. <br />Then I’ll walk you home; <br />And if you let me in, <br />We’ll play Sinatra, <br />I’ll lose my hands in your hair. <br />As we embrace, I’ll pull your hair <br />Back into that ponytail, <br />And I swear, we’ll be sixteen again.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/luna-come-out-and-play/
