Our little forest still stands. That day...You told me that the best way to make a decision was to flip a coin....because in mid air you know exactly what you want. So I took that ten cent and I said that if it was heads then I'd kiss you...and that tails would leave us sitting there awkwardly I flipped it and as the coin spun recklessly the racing airborne revolutions synchronised with my insistent heartbeat....and I kissed you, I swear I saw bright explosions as I experienced the softness of your lips on mine You took the 10 cent coin and we Both kissed it then despite my disbelieving protests you threw it into the slithering undergrowth....never to be seen again From that day on....we called it 10 cent Forest And if I could go back I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe.......use a 5 Rand coin....Maybe if i did that then it would have been worth more than a single ******* kiss Maybe then it would have meant more than a pitiful...fucking kiss Maybe then you wouldn't have ******* discarded what it meant, like a failed artwork, for a luckier-than-he-knows 'Player'
