January 23
The first time I fell in love
I was slightly more than a child
Knees scraped from climbing a wall
Sweater slips over my head
Heart beating with every moment
The snap of each button
Clasps unclasped
You said everything right
The last time I fell in love
I was barely a teen
Door lock turned
Reluctant brother keeping watch
T-shirt around my neck
Lace under your chest
Thrown aside
Unzipped jeans
You said everything right.
