Go back in your mind to that time
In Ridgeway Station,Apartment 112
In my momma's livingroom
Standin up by the loveseat
When you kissed me once and then again
Go back and remember how it first began
Jr. High,7th grade,when we started as friends
Try hard and remember all the time we've spent
Building our past,but look at us now
Stuck in some place we don't want to be
Scared to acknowledge the chemistry
That exist between us
Every time that we touch
Whether it's a hug outside of class
Or a lingering stare everytime that we pass
Remember how it used to be
When you used to adore me
You would call me everynight on the phone
From ya cousins house
Or you'd walk from City View to Lynwood
And we'd just chill out
Sittin in my room playing cards
Or outside on the steps
The times I laid my head on your chest
But now we can't seem to get back to that place
To bad memories can't be erased
Can't stand seeing you in my past
And then wondering why those times didn't last
Like the time at the carnival on the ferris wheel
Dancing at the Boys and Girls club in the gym
Seems like such a long time ago
But I swear I can still feel
Your lips against mine,that time
In Ridgeway Station,Apartment 112
In my momma's livingroom
Standing up by the loveseat
When you kissed me
Once, and then again
*********
This poem was written for my first boyfriend
who was also my first kiss (you know who you are)
I wish that we could go back to that place
and that time when we were feelin each other
