boy in a tree

a girls first kiss

I used to run and play all day laughing and having fun,

I used to dance and sing all day pretending to be a star,

I used to play wife all day in my little cubby house,

I used to talk to my toy bears and give them each all names,

I was carefree and happy as a little girl in my own little world,

And then came the day that I had to start school.

 

I sat next to Sam blond hair all down her back,

She was shy and quiet that whole day through,

‘Why doesn’t she speak to me, what did I do?

She doesn’t know me, why does she hate?’

Lunch time came and it was time to play,

I talked to a boy who was high in a tree.

 

‘Why are you up there? Aren’t you scared to fall?’

He looked down and smiled “it’s not so high up”

So I took that first step and started to climb

Higher and higher up into the sky

We talked and we laughed until the bell finally went

Then went our separate ways leaving the tree behind.

 

All night long I thought about that boy,

‘I forgot to ask his name and he forgot to ask mine,

I wonder if I’ll see him again tomorrow’

I fall asleep as I remember the day,

How it started out with rejection

But that soon went away, when I found the boy in a tree.

 

I woke early the next day before the sun had arisen,

Then got ready for school wearing a bow in my hair

I caught the bus that day with my mum by my side

Then she walked home as I went to class

Sat next to Sam awaiting lunch time

The bell rings and I dash out the door

 

Day after day we did play up high in the little tree

We talked and joked and soon we grew to

I look back on the days how we became close

Closer than some will emit

The other girls grew jealous while we just got closer

Then came the day I got my very first kiss

 

I’m now 15 and you have moved on

But I still remember the tree and all the kiss chasey games

You moved towns and found a new girl

I’m never going to forget you

Because you were the first boy to ever like me for me

You made the other girls jealous because

 

You were my boy in a tree.
