Summer 2019
to all the young & modern people
of the internet
I'd like to post a note this summer of 2019
this is about someone I knew back in high school
who was shy and kind and most of all -- just a really nice teen --
some people in your past --- you never forget them ---
although you may have just lost track of them a long time ago
but this one girl I will always remember her --
as she was back then ---- a cute and innocent ----
13 year old girl -- who was just starting her first year
of high-school
right here in my hometown in sept 1967
when our high-school had just opened up that fall
for the school year ahead
But the first time I saw her --- walking down the hall way ---
-- I guess --- (but I'm not quite sure where or when)
I first saw her (My memory is not that great now)
this is really going back a ways
I thought to myself and --- I never said anything about her ----
to anyone else at our school. That fall
I just kept my feelings to myself
--- but this one thing --- I liked so much about her ---
and she has probably ---- long --- long --- forgot
---- about any of this old stuff by now ---
I thought that she had ---- this really cool and neat ----
woman's short --- hair cut --- back then ---
they called it a "page-boy" -- hair cut --- back there in the 60's
to me that had to be the coolest thing
I had ever seen ---- but keep mind ---
I was only 15 -- at the time
but her red auburn hair -- styled in a " page-boy" theme
and her with those big brown (totally ) happy eyes
that had absolutely no cares or worries
just being young and happy and carefree
but really wasn't that
the very best part of
being 13
Later on in the middle of the school year
when we first started dating
sometimes - maybe just once in a while ---
she would look at me --- with a sort of scared or nervous
or even a vulnerable look in her eyes
---- and even today ----
--- I'm not sure what kind of look ---
she was giving me back then
like she had just said something or did something
that was going to make me mad
but that was the farthest thing from my mind
I always thought that was a strange and odd stare
that she would sometimes give me
but not very often at all --- just once in a long while
but really all the time that I knew her
and all through those high-school years
I was never mad at her
not for aynthing and not even once
I could never get mad at her --- no matter what ---
--- that just wasn't me ---
some people are kind of different
and you can never figure them out
or whats going on in their minds
when they sometimes become very quiet for a few moments
and when they're obviously deep in thought
and a kind of strange look or even a troubled look
comes over their facial expressions
I just don't know about this stuff
and I just can't figure it out
I just can't understand some of these things
that sometimes bother me
I guess this -- just being part fo the human race ---
( like we all are ) has always been a mystery
and probably always will be a mystery
And sometimes --- these young women
will leave extremely intense memories
with the guy they dated --- when they were both young ---
but for some of us guys
we just can't get past these memories
and now even 40 or 50 years later
these memories will stay with you
for as long as you live
and you will probably never get past them
and you will never really overcome them
and yes --- I'm not going to leave this next part out ---
it just wouldn't be fair --- that these memories ----
are more often --- and almost always ---
incredibly romantic and kind and totally --- JUST ----
(REALLY BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES )
there really is no other way to put it in ordinary words
but still sometimes ----- they can kind of bother a person ----
but keep in mind --- both men and women ---
have these memories ---- and they have the same effect ---
on women --- as they do on men ---
This note about this one person
is getting far too long
I'm going to cut it as short as I can
from this point on
I'm only going to say 3 more quick and short things
about her
and then I'm at the end of this computer note --- addressed ---
to all the young and modern people ---- who follow the internet
1 whenever I hear that 70's song
by van morrison
I think back to her
for half a year at least
she was my brown eyed girl
2 whenever I'm watching ---- old ---- old ---
reruns of --- long --- forgotten TV shows
on late night televison
and an old "patty duke" show comes on
and they play the show's -- introduction theme song ----
the song's words are as follows
" AND THEY WERE ONE PAIR OF GOOD KIDS "
"BUT AS DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY "
looking back now --- I truly hope ----- we really were ----
---- one pair of good kids ----
when we were both young and in our teens
- and like the old "monkees song " from the 60s
" we're too busy singing -- to put anybody down"
( they were too busy singing --- to hurt or be mean or say thing cruel )
( to anybody or anyone )
(They were just a group of good kids )
and I hope that this cute - brown eyed --- and very goung ----- girl and I
that we really were ----- ONE PAIR OF GOOD KIDS
----- BUT DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY
And finally at the very end of this note
I still feel even today --- after 50 years have come and gone ---
I feel it was an honour --- ( and partly because of my own pure blind luck )
that I even had the chance to ever meet her
and later to become her boyfriend
and share a part of her life
back when we were both young
and hopefully in both our hearts
we will always be
THAT ONE PAIR OF GOOD KIDS
EVEN THOUGH WE WERE
KIND OF ---- OR EVEN--- SORT OF ----
DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY
(BUT NOT REALLY)
( ACTUALLY WE WERE JUST RIGHT TOGETHER )
( WE WERE THE VERY SAME TYPE OF TWO KIDS)
(ACTUALLY AND HONESTLY WE WERE THE VERY SAME )
( HONEST TO GOD -- THIS LAST PAGE )
HAS ABSOLUTELY NO BULL CONNECTED TO IT
THIS LAST PAGE IS TOTALLY REAL
AND LIKE THAT OLD SONG SAYS
THIS IS TOTALLY REAL
AND STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME - AT ALL
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT THINK OR SAY
ABOUT THIS NOTE POSTED ON THE INTERNET
( AS A MATTER OF FACT )
(I DON'T EVEN CARE) (WHAT THE REST )
(OF THE ENTIRE WORLD) (MIGHT THINK OR SAY )
( OF THIS NOTE )
I VERY SELDOM WORK WITH THE INTERNET
I JUST COULD NEVER CATCH ON TO THE MODERN
COMPUTER AND INTERNET STUFF ---
