"First Kiss" (Yasmin)

Inspired by and dedicated to Yasmin J. Cruz

She has a tremendous smile
With an attitude to match.
A curiosity as vast as the Nile
Like an itch that can't be scratched.

So when I refused to answer:
"How did it happen, your first kiss?"
She insisted until I gave in and had to
Say "It went like this... "

.....

Once upon a time,
Back in '99,
I met this concoction of pure beauty yet defined.

She was amazingly resounding whenever she spoke.
She demanded all attention and it was the same when she wrote.
She was amazing in my eyes and so one day I wrote her a note.

The note was simple,
It was folded so that when closed in the middle
There was a heart with a riddle.

I gave her the note thinking myself bold.
When she read it though, she responded with an answer I thought cold.
For it was not what I wanted nor expected, it was "NO!"

I turned away sad and gloomy because the girl that I liked
Had put on paper very simply that my request was denied.
So I walked over to my seat, silently with that thought in mind.

But right before I sat, on my shoulder I felt a hand.
It was hers she turned me around, she kissed me and then
She smiled and said "I was joking silly, of course I want to be your girlfriend."

.....

So that's the story,
That's my first kiss,
My day of glory,
My day of bliss.
