Our High School Days
We touched each other every place
On the outside of our clothes
We kissed each other on the face
And we rubbed each other’s nose
Your prom dress was so beautiful
I watched it tumble to the floor
After four years of making out
We were ready to do much more
I was scared
I was excited
I was inexperienced
And, I was shy
You looked at me so willingly
And yet, you looked like you might cry
I touched you
You touched me
My him became your her
Seconds seemed like hours
Everything else
Was just a blur
Our performance was truly awful
And yet, terrific at the same time
We fell asleep in each other’s arms
Exhausted bodies and tired minds
The performances got much better
But the excitement started to fade
Enrolling in different colleges
Helped us go our separate ways
I hear that you got married
And moved to another state
I got married once myself
It was a big mistake
I don’t really long for you
Or wish to reconnect
Just love remembering our high school days
And that prom I won’t forget
