hmm...

a boy once told me that the moon
came from the pacific ocean

he played with my finger tips
as his eyes began to wander

the wind whipped at our adolescent hair
perfume gliding under his nose

he looked at me once
saw me as i am

he looked at me twice
saw me as i was, four years past

awkward and insecure
i never knew which way was forward

but here i stand, against the wind
a boy on arm and a dress resting on my shoulder

I heard him say that the moon
actually came from the pacific ocean.
