Reminisce

Reminisce By Franklin Price 06/02/2022 I look back today and reminisce Of sixty-nine and our first kiss It was your birthday twenty-one In celebration, just for fun We partied at the old La Scene The dance floor flashing red and green Our friends, all worked at KSC Including, you guessed it, you and me I asked if you would like to dance No thoughts of love or just romance No idea for my mind to roam You had an infant child at home I'd just returned, been off to war Newly divorced, back on the floor You then, were married, to another A lying cheater, not some other It was a slow song, I held you tight Somehow, some way, it felt so right At the end, I dipped you south And kissed you squarely on the mouth There were no tongues to interfere And then I whispered in your ear Happy Birthday twenty-one This dance, with you, was so much fun When that party night did end Had no idea, I'd kissed, my life's best friend That by November, we'd be as one I'd be with you, 'til life was done The season Spring, when we first met That first kiss, I'll not forget Nor can forget your cheating spouse Who led to love within our house Was fifty-three long years ago No better life, I'd ever know You passed this year, tears came like rain I would gladly do it all again
