First Kiss
This first guy I wanted to kiss sat next to me in class
I was four and he had turned five, and I shuddered when he passed
But now looking back the one thing I knew
Was that at our preschool graduation I thought "I should've kissed you"
When I was in the 10th grade I got my first serious crush
We talked over snapchat every night and even made my ebony skin blush
One day we were sitting on the steps and I was like, "when you get physically close to someone it becomes weird"
So when he suddenly came closer and closer, my heart filled with fear
And when his lips approached mine, I slapped him without a clue
Looking back, with a laugh, "I should've kissed you"
My first week at college, never had a boyfriend, never been kissed
But the first man I crushed on there, gave me my wish
We were friends then, friends still, we were watching a show
Then he just turned to look at me and told me something he thought I should know
Like a performance, without an audience or a bow
He turned to me and said, "I might be getting the wrong vibe, but can I kiss you right now"
This time my hand didn't raise, and I didn't want to look back and regret
So I just said, "Well I wouldn't hate it" closed my eyes, and promised to never forget
