The First Time

the first time
I kissed a boy
I was seventeen
in his living room
by the fire.
I still remember
when our lips met
it felt like Summer
had come early.

the first time
I kissed a girl
I was eighteen
in her bed
drunk.
I still remember
when our lips met
it felt like Summer
would last forever.
