I remember that first
kiss that we shared,
Sitting on your wall,
you had egg in your hair.
A birthday prank
that I had found funny
left us up all night until it got sunny.
We didn’t know
each other well,
yet we talked so long
you couldn’t tell.
I knew by how you looked
that you were a goth
Dressed in all black,
I thought you were hot.
You told me about
the places you had been
And I told you lies
about movies I hadn’t seen.
I tried to impress you
by trying to act cool,
You saw
straight through me
and told me
to stop acting the fool.
It’s hard to believe
that thirty years has passed.
Who would have thought
that kiss would never be surpassed.
