Young Hearts Collaboration

A heart drawn around the initials of two
Awkward boy uttered fluttered love
Graffiti scrawled in black marker pen
Vandalism was rife in school back then.

Whispered timid stuttered muttered girl
You held me close and pecked my cheek 
The teacher caught us red handed
And showed his annoyance, with us meek.

The Principal made us paint
The wall under the staircase
Of the main hall, blue
The love we felt back then, was a changing hue.
