Nightmare of Reality

When I think of times embarrassing to me,

I look at my life and reality.

Rather the blonde hair or the big mouth placed on my face,

So many moments, I would love to erase.

My first kiss?one of many fears,

The memory of this one brings back tears.

15 years old, freshman in high school,

All I wanted was to be noticed and somewhat cool.

Dating a junior, how cool could that be?

An awesome football player and homecoming nominee.

I knew I could fit in to a new grown up place,

Competing against the ?older? girls would be a race.

One Friday night, after a game,

The football player asked for my name.

Shy and reluctant I replied to his question,

Unaware of his dreaded next suggestion.

A date was in the making, what should I do?

He was so old and I was so new.

New in high school and new with guys,

What have I done? this choice wasn?t wise!

I stand in the mirror for hours each day,

Preparing what to wear and what to say.

Time was getting shorter and ?the day? was almost here,

I was so nervous? I forgot my one most fear.

A kiiiiisssss? I knew he would expect of me,

I couldn?t give in; I?m just too modest you see.

I?ve seen it on TV, how disgusting it appeared,

After practicing on my hand, I pouted and sneered.

I hated the thought of a stupid little kiss,

This was one point of my life that I would rather miss.

Debating, waiting, and thinking all day,

I?m losing my mind and don?t know what to say.

Restless nights, on my bed I ponder,

Sweaty hands and feet, why can?t time be longer?

An excuse I think of to put off this date,

I don?t want a kiss?I?ll just wait.

?The day? has come and the night is near,

Bringing along the ?k? word that I fear.

Butterflies have now taken over my tummy,

The physical part of me is like a mummy.

All this time I have sat and prepared,

But what for, I?m just too scared.

I drag myself to do my make-up and hair,

What once was a look, is now a glare.

Hurry up clock why won?t you go faster?

I?ll get my Bible and pray to master.

Pray for protection and ease through the night,

For this one horrible thing I hope I do right.

The doorbell rings; my heart stands still,

I open the door; this time is for real.

Anxiously waiting, we stand face to face,

Lord, please help me to not be a disgrace.

He escorts me to his truck; opens my door,

Pretty big pick-up, my feet can?t reach the floor.

Trembling hands, how nervous I am,

Getting a little hot, I?m really in a jam.

We now are driving off, to dine we go,

He?s looking a little nervous, he should be a pro.

Both of us facing forward, our mouths closed shut,

I?m thinking very hard of a conversation to construct.

Dinner goes by, dessert I don?t forget,

That stupid little kiss, maybe he?ll forfeit.

Nerves have settled, conversation easily takes place,

We sit in his truck leaving a big space.

Conversation stops when I thought it was getting good,

I shouldn?t act uninterested?maybe I should.

Oh, that would get me out of that kiss I really hate!

Well, he was nice enough to take me on my first date.

I SEEEE THE LIGHT, my house is getting near,

He?s now reaching for my hand? oh my dear.

Pulling into the driveway, figuring out what to do,

I came up with some options, just to name a few.

I can gradually open the door, jump out during motion,

Or, I could be a young lady and show SOME devotion.

I really like my first choice, I wouldn?t mind a bit,

Yet, any chance of popularity would be over? I would have to quit.

Unaware that I was thinking and acting at the same time,

Guess I?m good at mirroring my thoughts, just like a mime.

The door was slightly cracked, and I was unaware,

He?s now getting closer; his fingers are touching my hair.

I jump back quickly, now falling out of the truck,

My pant leg got hooked, now I?m stuck.

Now I?m on the ground dying of laughter,

He reaches out to me a few seconds after.

He helps me up and dusts me off,

Choking on saliva, I begin to cough.

Could this get any worse, I begin to think,

What?s left of my confidence, begins to sink.

What I thought was a sly move, was one for him,

He pulls me near and looks at me with a grin.

Getting closer and closer, what?s he going to do?

He kisses me on the forehead and says thank you.

That was it?that was ?the kiss,?

The one that I wanted to miss.

I worked myself up for so many days,

A gentleman he was in so many ways.
