There I stood About to join the back of the line As our eyes met You were the tiny guy Looking quickly From the corner of your eye Almost like you had no right to. I briefly made note Of the shy glare You threw at me As I struggled with A whole new warderobe And some daring lingerie For the hell of it.
As I stood chatting With the colorfull cashiere It hit me: you're Kevin The memories came flooding back You and your brother Chauffered us around For a brief while In the summer of 2007. I always wondered How someone with A severe growth disorder Managed to stay So incredibly sweet.
You were always a good boy 5 years older than me And 15cm smaller than me Your brother always Protected you from harm. But now tell me... Were you embarassed When we played "Pass the ice cube" And I kissed you full on the mouth? Understanding full well That that was your first kiss. I wasn't making fun of you I merely felt that someone With a heart like yours Should've been kissed A long time ago.
