Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

We were quite an item

One of which I was quite fond

Now when anyone mentions

Whatever happened I keep mum

—

I was a fool

A jester in your court

Hearing your laugh

Missing the joke

Didn’t see you were the sort

To let me soak

In my own tears

—

We were quite an item

Atomic topic in the halls

Initials on the handrails

Names on the walls

Used to think we’d never end

One incredible love stalled

One heart to never mend
