" First Kiss "

So I'm sixteen
and I've never been kissed
and every single
thing you do
makes me hate this

I have this picture
embedded in
my head
an image of you
and every word
I wish you said

Every moment
we would share
the way it'd feel
to have you there

I sit and wonder
what would life be
if somehow you
would fall for me

I see it now
we're holding hands
it's Friday night
and we've got plans

Sitting on your couch
resting my head
on your shoulder
singing you a song
over and over
again

'Til it's 'bout time to go
so you walk me
to the door
so nice and slow

I turn to you
you turn to me
don't know what to do
so I turn and leave

The next Monday
right after school
no one's around
but I'm such a fool

I get scared
so I run away
leavin' you there
don't know what to say

'Til Saturday
you hold me tight
but I'm afraid
to kiss good-night

You ask what's wrong
I look away
I can't find the words
to try to say

That I do love you
and I'm just shy
I gotta wait
for that special time

When it all feels right
just me and you
and my heart will know
just what to do

So that day I leave
reluctantly
fearing that
you won't want me

'Til the next week
nothing but rain
run to catch the bus
and there you wait

And you're right on time
umbrella in one hand
the other reaches for mine
and together we stand

So you try
to shelter me
I'm so in awe of you
that I can't speak

I take a look
at this dark, grey sky
so thankful that
you're by my side

We're dodging puddles
still getting soaked
and I was dumb enough
to forget my coat

So you try
to share with me
it's barely big enough
but we'll succeed

Then we get to the bus
rain's getting stronger now
but I can't get on
I've got stay, somehow

I take one look at you
and it just happens there
the whole bus is watching
but I can't seem to care

I freeze
and stare at you
like time just
stops...

I see a raindrop
trickle by
and move away
next to your ear

You wipe one
from my eye
but that's not rain
it's just a tear
