He Really Did.

If I recall the way I think I do,
we were at the beach.
A carnival with pretty lights
brought us together, let us meet.

He never knew my name,
and I never learned of his.
None of that mattered
when he stole that first kiss.

The moon was playing tricks on us,
dancing lights across our flesh.
We were laying under fireworks,
my head on his warm chest.

That man left me that night,
deflowered and engaged.
Two hours alone, I loved him....
Though soon I was enraged.

An early morning sneaking home,
a glance at a television screen.
That man I'd met with instant sparks
was vanished like a dream.

His truck had been flipped,
trapping him inside.
Sounds of metal scraping wood....
Something inside me died.

I kissed him in his casket,
recieved a letter just for me.
Baptised the page with teardrops,
that no one else would read.

He really did love me,
and I never did marry.
I had that one child,
he left me to carry.

This story is true,
believe if you wish.
It's all about your grandpa,
who gave me my first kiss.
