Love Hurts

Whack went your head
Sand in my eyes
Scissors sliced your hair
A push from behind

Yellow crayons flew about
Pencils snapped in two
Kindergarten was not easy
Brawling, me and you

Your tongue stuck out
I rolled my eyes
My mother pleaded please
Nope, not sharing pie

We fought like devils
Each our arch nemesis 
Fast forward twenty years
And then, we kissed

Kids fight then as twenty somethings kissing. For some people things like that happen. Congrats on your win in my contest.
