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
