we would lie on the picnic
table
late a night.
side by side.
the girl next door,
and me.
it was summer, school out.
nothing much to do
but be young,
chase fire flies,
wonder what was to become of
us and watch the sky
for meteors flashing by,
which was what we
were at the time,
not knowing it then,
but do now.

I love the rhythm of this. Small things:
Do you need the line "but be young"? Why not just say:
nothing much to do/
but chase fireflies/
wonder what might come/
watch the night sky
for meteors flashing by
which is what we were
not knowing then
but do now
