i remember the first time we met
you pulled me out of the
closet i had been hiding in
forced me out into the light
and i wanted to you to
keep on saying my name
just keep looking at me
making me feel beautiful
i remember the first time we kissed
my room was a mess
but we stood in a clear spot on the
salt and pepper carpet that i always hated
and when you said i could kiss you
fireworks went off in my head
and when you made my bottom lip bleed
it felt like i had
died and gone to heaven
i loved you so much
i remember the last time
that we went trick or treating
wearing a costume that made this
old lady that asked way too
many questions think i was a boy
and we stopped in the middle of
the street
standing so close in the semi-dark
the kiss was not chaste
our mouths crashed together
like waves against the sandy shore
and i dropped my pillowcase of candy
to hold you with both hands
and when we broke apart
i wiped your sweet spit off my chin
and stuck my fingers in my mouth
tasting you amidst the candy bars
