They

His lips told the stories of a thousand other tales
Each one left a crinkle in those lips
He had no time for adolescent affairs
Just that one kiss he told himself as he swallowed down his coffee
Just that one kiss

She longed for attention of a superior
Someone twice her but not twice better
She thought it would impress
I must have him she told herself as she rolled up her skirt
I must have him

He had an addiction he could not fight
Something not known until pushed
He thought he wouldn’t get caught
I must have her he told himself as the bell rang
I must have her

She thought she could deal with it
Ready to go through with it
She changed her mind when it all started
Just that one kiss she told herself as she leaned in for another
Just that one kiss

They both knew of the consequences
One more than the other
They both lost something that afternoon
I was her teacher he told himself whilst packing his things
I wasn’t ready she told herself as she wept in her bedroom
Just that one kiss…
