Day 9
Think about your first real kiss. Write lyrics describing how it made you feel.
First Kiss?
Sitting on my bed, chewing gum
Thrift store men's shirt, hair like Catwoman
I don't know how, just know we kissed
I tried for more, but you grabbed my wrist
Elevators, butterflies
I looked at you, you closed your eyes
Anticipation, exquisite longing
Can't believe this is happening
(chorus)
Some things I remember
Some I can't forget
I know that it was you
But I don't know how it went
New Rose, Jet Boy -- something from the Damned
But it was a school night
And I was a placeholder
A boy, not yet a man
Your sister Karen didn't like me either
She teased me mercilessly
But I had a car, and in it we'd drive
From scene to fetid scene
(2nd chorus)
Some things I don't remember
Some I can't recall
Some I can't recall
I just know that before you
There was nothing at all
----
I'm not certain that the person I'm referring to would even remember this event. I'm certain she never knew the significance it held for me. I'm not absolutely certain that it was my first, but it was the first one I remember. We were just teenagers, friends fooling around. I still consider her a friend (Hey, Kim!) although we haven't spoken for many, many years...and we're not teenagers anymore.

I've changed my comments settings to allow for anyone to comment. All comments are welcome, even spineless potshots from anonymous posters. Please, by all means, give me the tongue lashing I so richly deserve. I promise not to hunt you down and melt your keyboard with my plasma cannon. I won't, however, promise not to pout and make that face you can't stand.
