fromunda




 The day was hot and bright and wild, too
was the way we walked together in the playful breeze.
I was full of pride, floating along next to you
on our way to the lake, through the dark islands of  the trees.
You turned and smiled and pushed that strand of hair behind your ear
  I leaned in close and kissed you on that precious golden face
A raw, giant cliff edge ringed with thorns was looming near
 No, silly,not for real, but imagine how that kind of jazz is outta place
for me, especially, with a girl so new, and I just learned your name that day
       but I just had to get next to you and I couldn't even think through it
     and thought I was gonna play cool like I was supposed to
          then I thought "oh hell, I just blew it"
  That's when I first kissed you
   
           all those years ago.
