Better Off As Lovers

How could I forget the way the sun warmed bare skin?
The heat just seeping into our pores
You were totally at ease with that smirk on your face
Joking about the tiny bikini I was wearing
We relaxed while cooling off in that chilly water
Talked about the past, present, and future
Then you wanted an adventure
So I took you to my favorite place; the graveyard
We explored its vastness fighting the bugs
Once we returned covered in sweat, the challenge began
The rematch started with your basic soccer moves
Until you pulled out the shoving
Only cause you hate admitting that a girl beat you
It was like a tango with all the sexy thrill
My skin against your own soft flesh
Although you're thin I mistook your strength
And as we went crashing to the ground
I had never felt so alive
As I pinned you there, the rush filled my mind
It was then I realized I couldn't live without you
I wanted to kiss you
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to call you my own
But I restrained myself for the rest of the evening
Through dinner and the movies
Even when we went 105 on the interstate
After all the denial over the years
My love for you finally smacked me in the face
And it was as if I'd never loved another
Always and only you
Why hadn't I noticed until then?
All those years you waited and hoped
All those years I searched for the perfect guy
Only to find him right in front of me
How ironic?
My first best friend
My first kiss
My first love
Now that I've found him, I don't want to let go
Life without him is taking the breath from my lungs
