I consider
sleepy couchtop evenings
segueing into sleepier morning rouses and cold car goodbyes
reveling
in a time the tune she sang favored me.
I regret
the improbable timing
of accusations, apprehension, surprise, and confessions
wondering
if the words I wrote were true.
Hers is
the chosen face in a crowd of admirers
recognizing favor in my tunes
I cannot look into her salty eyes
and everybody knows,
no, nobody knows
how much I care
how much she cares
how madly I wish tunes to harmonize.

Reading this, it is surprising that you are only 18. I sincerely hope you never give up writing. You have a lot of raw, natural ability.
