More Than A Friend (Epilog)
The kids had most of the summer left.
Did they enjoy it to the max? You bet.
They had their senior year to go in school.
Summer flew by fast with nothing new.
When school started again in the fall.
They all worked hard and gave it their all.
Their school was a small country school.
The town was quite rural, small and true blue.
Very patriotic, as country folk are.
Country and school first, then a nice car.
The 4 were the hottest couples going.
Other kids admired what they were showing.
Much love and dedication to each other.
They were closer than a sister and brother.
Nobody learned what they shared that night.
When at the beach. One hell of a fight.
They all knew trouble was coming again.
Problem was they didn’t know when.
They vowed to stay together till it was over.
Even if it wasn’t till they were much older.
In the meantime, they all had a great year.
One to remember and to hold near.
They all graduated with top honors.
Each earned scholarships for college beyond here.
Their subject choices affected by what they knew.
No reptilian race would make them a fool.
They would take courses to help their fight.
All they learned would help their plight.
When the fight returned, they would be prepared.
A fight till the end. They wouldn’t be scared.
