We play the game. Red light green light 1, 2,3 He’s coming now. He’s hugging me and looking in my eyes. Were laughing now He’s teasing me With the most playful of chides. Green light Everything’s ok You havent crossed that line. He’s closer now Moving closer still You start to dread goodbyes You wait for him by the door Avert their judging eyes Red light. He’s back again You're happy now And touches start to linger You smile with smiles just for you two Your hands move unbeknownst to you Creeping up the middle of his chest Resting on the sides of his neck Red light. His arms start to encircle you You both don’t make a sound He’s closer now Your face to face And all will be revealed Your lips move towards his You realize This game we play means so much more Than the one we played as kids And now he’s kissing you 1,2...
