I was a youngster - a girl in my teens, <br />He was captain of the school football team - <br />The month of October, full moon shining bright, <br />An old fashioned hayride on a Saturday night; <br />Parked his Chevy in the drive and walked up to my door <br />I thought I would faint dead away on the floor, <br />How was I so lucky to capture his eye? <br />This larger than life, most incredible guy. <br />We dressed in team jerseys smuggled out of the gym, <br />I looked like a miniature reflection of him, <br />The night air was crisp -our breath hung in the air, <br />The frost bit my fingers, but I didn't care <br />Caught up in the moment with the guy of my dreams <br />Autumn Perfection in still frame......It seems <br />Like just yesterday that long ago night <br />A memory so precious, and my world so right - <br />This blast from the past brought to life once again <br />By an e-mail surprise...........birthday wishes from HIM! ! !<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/october-night/
