Children's Play

We walked the mall, Hand-in-hand. Your skin warm, Like a summer night, As it touched my cold shoulder. You wrapped your hands around my waist, In a backwards hug. Your head brushed my chilling skin, As you whispered in my ear. I convinced you to giddy things, Pleasing my inner child. I skipped and pulled you along, Headed to Build-A-Bear. You looked at me, Just like you would a kid. You kissed my forehead, And made me laugh. Then we went to get drinks. I bought us both smoothies. I was childish yet again, Blowing my paper straw at you. It hit your arm, Skewed away, And on and on it flew. I covered my giggle and leaned over, Trying not to seem rude. It hit the floor, As if it were a feather. A lady glared at us, And yelled something crude. I simply laughed. But you got mad, Thinking very brood. I grasped your arm, Trying to interrupt, As you pulled away. But on you go, So I switched to plan B. I pulled you over, Looked in your eyes, And simply kissed you.
