17 candles
on the day I first
saw you the day
your brother brought
me down into
the valley where
you live I thought
I still think
I have never
seen beauty
before you
don't even remember
we walked those
trails so many
times I can't
forget I'll
never forget
those three
words I didn't
know how to
tell you then I
was so young
too young but you
were not.
