How do you date when your parents are strict?
Boldly, on school return days, of course!
Telling mom and dad the homeroom teacher wanted everyone to stay after cleaning to attack Shelly’s village...,
no wait! To stay behind for self-study! (Actually it was love self-study class)
enjoying every moment with you,
ordinary, unremarkable places
became our secret base because of you.
The youth I walked through with you was absurd, silly, romantic and real,
remembering the days we got punished together, the dreams we shared, the summers we spent,
from school uniforms to a wedding gown — our clothes have changed, and so have we,
but love is still here — in our eyes, in our minds, in the air.
