Castles In the Sand

Back when we were kids we'd play duck duck goose When her turn came around it always me she would choose I'd bust open pinatas and pin the donkeys tail I would often tease her because she'd always fail We played a lot of hide and seek and didn't make a peep I never gave her hiding spot away, for her any secret I would keep I let her win in tug of war For her my heart sure did soar During games of tag your it she would run fast but my heart was racing faster She didn't know it then but she was secretly my puppet master We arm wrestled and I loved holding her hand in mine Like electricity sending shivers up and down my spine Playing capture the flag I'd always pick her for my team Honestly she wasn't very good at it but I couldn't help myself as it was about her I'd always dream I loved that whole summer we played Marco Polo By the end of it I knew I didn't want to fly solo We played a random game of truth or dare I kissed a blonde haired blue eyed girl for which my heart didn't care Ever since we played that game of twister I wonder if she realized I longed to have kissed her During bowling she would knock down close to every pin I didn't mind that she would always win She wasn't a cheerleader but was into gymnastics Yet she cheered for me at all of my football games and that was fantastic I was into hockey and she enjoyed figure skating It was never a debate for her I didn't mind waiting Luck happened upon me as it landed on her when we played spin the bottle We didn't stop there, we didn't let off the throttle Playing strip poker as adults I'm sure blessed with my hand Who knew a love like this would become of building castles in the sand
