and never been kissed

meant nothing

until my last birthday

and i realised i only had

one year left

i dreamed last night

of that first kiss

more vividly than ever before

her lips were soft

the kiss was wet

it was comfortable

and almost love

i didn't see her face

a fleeting glimpse

of blonde and blue

is all i got

and the impression of an attic room.

i've dreamed before,

of course

but this time it felt real

when i awoke, i tried to recall

but now the wondrous feeling

is only a memory

sweet 16

never been kissed

maybe a dream is enough for me
