Love Affairs: Childhood Love

Childhood love,

The time that we spent was never really enough,

I remember when we was young we use to play Hide and Seek

And you would hide near the brush behind the bushes near the shrubs,

I would always give chase, tagging you with a tacklehugs

I never crossed my mind why I constantly saved you for last

I guess the joy of us, rolling around in the grass

Was worth having to hear my mom’s tell me “Get yo ass in the bath!”

Looking back now, I understand why our parents shared laughs,

The understood that us playing together,

Day after day, was suppose to lead to something better

Perhaps maybe even forever,

But when I had to chance to claim your hand, and hold it in mine

I denied you to your face and said you wasn’t mine

But how could you blame me? I was only a couple of years past five

If only I understood then what made you run and cry

But I was confused you see,

Love was something different and was still new to me

So when I left for a different city and thought about all the times I would miss,

The one memory I will forever cherish, is the one when we shared first shared lips.
