First Kiss

I don’t know why that day was special
But you came to school wearing lipstick.
I thought you were pretty before
But that day I was intrigued with your lips.
I don’t know what came over me
But when my name was called on the list,
To go to the carpet to listen at story time
I just could no longer resist.
I kept looking at you at your desk
And you hadn’t ever noticed me before,
But you wouldn’t ever forget me again
After that day I was sure!
When that brown classroom phone rang
And the teacher reading to us was summoned,
I knew I had my chance
And no other opportunity was coming!
So I crawled on the floor to get closer
So the teacher wouldn’t notice,
Then I sprang to my feet and kissed you square on the lips,
And made you lose all focus!
I crawled back to my place while all the kids laughed  
But I couldn’t care less,
Because I had kissed the prettiest girl in school
And it felt good I must confess.
Later that day you said I was your boyfriend
And we held hands after class,
I didn’t plan for any of this
I wasn’t ready for the aftermath!
I was only six years old,
I wasn’t ready to be tied down.
The move I made was bold,
And we were the talk of the playground.
Our relationship only lasted a day
But to not mention you, I would be remiss.
So to Keisha Pringle, wherever you are,
Thank you for being my first kiss!
