I kissed you, yes
But it wasn't my move.
I moved closer to you,
But you leaned.

I'd stood on my tippy-toes
Our lips had met
But only for a second
You leaned

Thoughts of our "out-of-bounds play"
Made me happy, but my joy was cut short;
You're just a player
With another girl on your court.

Ahhhh. Junior High. Gotta love it. (Oh by the by, my fingers were dripping with sarcasm as I typed that!)
