When Two Hearts Run Dry

W is for
When Two Hearts Run Dry
--------------------------------
I remember so vividly
The day
The hour
Even the corridor at school
When I first saw her and
What she wore and smelt like
She sucked out my breath
And pumped my heart with a strange new emotion
Never felt before
My stomach was a vacuum
Yet my heart overflowed with four star love
As we experienced our first silent tryst
Our first breathless awkward numbing kiss
I heard only the blood in my ears
And our sexual awakening
More potent than any cider
With any Rosie
Under any hayrick
But through time we forgot to check the dial
That read
Running on empty
No place for a refill
When two hearts run dry;l
