The Kiss (Green Light)
I remember how it happened
As the room gradually became dark
(And I had turned out the lamp)
I had invited him to my room
We had been holding hands tightly
Him and his adorable scruffy hair
And dress shirt with very cool indie patterns
How suddenly, his head was directly above mine
His eyes gleaming (twinkling) with that hunger one gets in the dark
And before I knew it
His lips were on mine
Raw and primal
Passionate
Like nothing I’d ever experienced before
My hands were all over him
And many months later
After it had ended all too quickly
A lyric spoke to me
Did it frighten you
How we kissed when we danced on the light-up floor?
And while a dorm room is much less glamorous
Less romantic than a light-up floor
I find myself still wishing
I could get my things
And just let go.
