Remembrance

I remember being scared
I remember being excited
I remember sweaty palms
Memories of my first kiss...

I remember being thirteen
I remember feeling that was mature!
I remember the thrill of that moment
Looking back, I realize my memory’s a gift...

I remember the moment, the place, the boy
I remember him well, boy, do I!
I remember how much he meant to me
Recollections of first love, or was love, lust?
