This is a poem about a summer romance that I shall never forget or regret. Her name was Isabelle & the year was 1984. (We were 16) I have often thought of her through the years and have wanted to capture that experience on paper for some time now.
She was a Foreign exchange student that came from Barcelona to stay with a neighbor's family. We vowed to stay in touch and did not, but such is young love and adolescent passions. I chose to depict this in a raw and uncensored fashion just to be true to my memory of Isabelle.

Your poem expresses all of the emotions that I felt when I fell in love with an exchange student at my school. The world seemed to stop when we were together and everything seemed to be as it should. When he left I felt broken and beside myself. Your poem expressed every emotion I felt and still feel for the exchange student that I loved.

This poem is great because it is uncensored. Acensored poem is like a Baby born with clothes on, its just not right or true!
