Jasmine Thompson - 57 years

Back in the day he was a rebel child
getting in trouble
driving his parents wild

Back in the day she was a beauty queen
never mean
driving the boys insane

you'd never know how they met
but its something they'll never forget

him
the way her hair blew in the breeze
her
the way his smile brought her to her knees

You never understand
just by looking at them
how these two different people
turned out as friends

him
a high school dropp out
her
future ms. universe.

You'd never get it
you'd never see
how in 57 years
he still means the world to me.
