No longer was kissing
considered second base.
feeling each other up
quickly took its place.
As we slowly aged
and innocence died.
The child deep inside us all
fell to its knees and cried.
Naked pics and below the waist,
eliminated hide and seek.
Spin the bottle and seven minutes,
with guys hoping for a peek.
As boyfriends came and went,
and the first of us started having sex.
My parents may have even feared
that I would soon be next.
But I think I'm still not past
kissing in the dark.
No sex for the girl,
who'd rather swing at the park.
The other girls may laugh
I don't care what they say.
But me, I'm not ready to think
About going all the way.
