sitting under the moonlit sky
we counted each star
trying to outdo the other
but of course
we came right back to square one
suddenly catching sight of a shooting star
we make a wish
I hope to be with him
my best friend forever
just as friends
for he was a guy
I wondered what he wished for though
hopefully, the same as me!
but that wasn't the case
I knew soon enough
it was for him to kiss me
but he was such a fool
a clown-
he couldn't kiss me
I wasn't even in love with him
how did that figure?
nonetheless, he planted one on my lips
it felt so innocent
like he meant it
to say we would be like this
forever-
but I was wrong
it was in fact
for me to notice him
in a different way
for he had begun
to fall in love
with me
oh boy!
a kiss had fooled me
but it felt so sweet...

wonderful take on the prompt. so sweet and innocent. like it was from a child's point of view. or even a girl who'd never been kissed before. i loved it. thanks so much for entering!!
