We lay down in a field
that afternoon
the last term at school
approaching in a week or two
and we lay and talked
as people do.
"So where will you work?"
you said
turning your head.
"In a garage I hope
learning to repair cars"
I replied
looking at your eyes
that looked at me.
"Are you interested in cars?"
you asked
lying on your side
your arm
acting as a pillow
and your brown hair
holding the sun's glow.
"Of course I am"
I said
"be no point otherwise.
You smiled that smile
that first captured me
a year before
and your bright
blue eyes.
"I will probably work
in a store"
you said
"selling groceries
and such
and no I'm not
interested in groceries
that much."
I smiled
and turned on my side.
"Remember
our first kiss?"
you asked.
"How could I
forget that"
I replied
"it was just
before Christmas
and we out
singing carols
in the nearby
countryside"
Your eyes
searched mine
"And while no one
was looking
we turned and kissed"
you said.
I leaned closer
and kissed your lips
to a silence
like the dead.
How long we kissed
I have no idea
but it lasted
quite a while.
I remember
that first day
of September.
