First Kiss

I was totally inspired by this blog that I read on a regular basis to post one similar to it. It was about first kisses and how special they usually are. But ultimately I wanted to write about the first kiss of all first kisses... my very first kiss period.

From as far back as I can remember I have been a little boy crazy. There is even this old home movie of me when I was about 6 at the neighborhood swimming pool chewing on my goggles and staring at some older boys. I remember having crushes on the boys even in kindergarten. Every year it was a different boy. In third grade I got my first "boyfriend" Randy. We went to summer camp together and he bought me a candy bar. I thought we were destined to be. Then I come to find out that he was also buying candy bars for other girls. I wasn't the only one to fall for this so called charm. Oh boys they never change. It wasn't until those awful two years of middle school that I really started wanting a real boyfriend. You know the ones you can go hang out with at the mall and talk on the phone with. Those real kind. But unlucky for me I was socially awkward, apparently didn't know how to brush my hair and had braces. Not the best looking girl in the 7th and 8th grade by any means. It wasn't until the end of 8th grade that one of those wonderful middle school boys saw through the tangled mess of hair and the glinting shine of my braces and saw the girl underneath. David... I will never forget David. He was sweet and most of all he actually liked me!

It was the last day of school and David, my friend Elaine, and I all went over to Elaine's house to "hang out." David and I decided to take a walk down to the park a block away from her house. *I was so naive even at this point I had no idea what he was planning.* We walked to the park and we ended up talking on the playground equipment for a while when he asked me to go walk in the trees with him. *Yeah I know this sounds really scary, but for some reason I wasn't scared.* We got several feet into the trees when he stopped looked at me and kissed me on my lips. Even to this day I can remember that moment perfectly. I remember it being the best thing ever, but it probably was really bad and awkward. It was a great first kiss. We were boy friend and girlfriend for that entire summer. I'm not sure what happened after school started. I think we ended up going to different high schools and just stopped seeing eachother. I'll have to check my diary to really make sure. But I will always remember David and my very first kiss. Thanks David... where ever you are.
