We went on one date
Two years ago
I kissed her at the end of the night
A real kiss
One that I knew
She’d never forget
Three days after that
She said she didn’t have time for me
Because of her school and work
It stung a little back then
But
A few weeks ago
She messaged me on Instagram
And asked me to
‘Clap her cheeks.’
I’m on my way
To give her what she asked for
But first
I’m stopping for
A beer
Or two
And
A poem
Or two
Then
Off to clap her cheeks
Wish me luck.
