Marie stood on the porch of her grandfather's house watching the new stable hand feed the horses. He was young and very good looking, Marie's emerald eyes looked him up and down seeing the contours of his muscles. He turned his head and she looked away blushing noticing the smirk on his face. She leaned against the pole and watched him, his name was Logan, a student at a college a few towns over.
He was working through
College, on my grandpa's farm,
It had been three weeks and Marie had such a connection to Logan, the way his hand brushed against her drove her mad. She wanted him but she was only seventeen. She looked down the field to see his car, a nice yet slightly rusted truck. She was confused she knew what she wanted , but she was scared.
I was thirsting for
Knowledge and he
Had a car, Oh I was caught
Somewhere between a woman
And a child…
She held him close as they ate together. It had been like that for weeks, his rugged look made her wild and she was always flirting with him. But this night was different, they sat on a blanket the river rushing at there feet. Each of his gentle caresses sent shivers up her spine. She had tears fall down her face, happy tears that he kissed away.
One restless summer
We found love growning
Wild, on the banks of
A river down a well beaten path
It's funny how those memories they
Last…
She remembered the taste of the wine, it was the perfect kind her favorite fruit, Strawberry. He poured the wine delicately into the glass and she remembered the taste that ran down her throat. She was only seventeen with the beauty of a woman.
Like strawberry wine
Seventeen, the hot july moon
That saw everything, my first taste love
Oh bittersweet, green on the vine
Like strawberry wine…
I still remember when thirty was
Old my biggest fear was September,
When he had to go…
He held her close as they took there final kisses, " Call me," she whispered. Her lifted her chin and smiled, " Always…" the taxi honked and Logan took one last savouring kiss before disappearing into the taxi.
A few cards and letters, and one long
Distance call we drifted away like the
leaves in the fall…
Marie stood on the same porch years later, she sighed as she remembered him. He was her love and she never forgot the look that came from his dark chocolate eyes. She looked over to still see his old ratty car sitting there the weeds growing on it. He mind drifting back to a time she had not forgotten.
But year after year I come back
To this place just to remember
The taste…of strawberry wine
Seventeen, the hot july moon
That saw everything, my first taste of love
Oh bittersweet, Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine…
She saw how much the fields had grown, she had not taken care of them since he left. She couldn't without remembering him. She missed him so much, but he was long gone and had been for years. She looked at the open field a sad smile gracing her beautiful features, " I really miss him…" she whispered.
The fields have grown over now,
Years since they've seen the plow,
There's nothing time hasn't touched,
Was it really him or the lose of my
Innocence I've been missing so much…
Like strawberry wine, Seventeen the hot
july moon that saw everything, my first taste
of Love, Oh bittersweet… Green on the vine…
like strawberry wine…
Marie turned off the radio and sipped the wine from the glass, that was her life and she still lived It now though there was one thing different. " Logan sugah can you go put the kids to bed?" she asked, Yeah he had come back for her, and she always felt his gentle kiss. The taste of that strawberry wine would linger on her lips forever, with him next to her.
