Rather the blonde hair or the big mouth placed on my face,

So many moments, I would love to erase.

The memory of this one brings back tears.

15 years old, freshman in high school,

All I wanted was to be noticed and somewhat cool.

Dating a junior, how cool could that be?

An awesome football player and homecoming nominee.

I knew I could fit in to a new grown up place,

Competing against the "older" girls would be a race.

The football player asked for my name.

Shy and reluctant I replied to his question,

Unaware of his dreaded next suggestion.

A date was in the making, what should I do?

New in high school and new with guys,

What have I done... this choice wasn't wise!

I stand in the mirror for hours each day,

Preparing what to wear and what to say.

Time was getting shorter and "the day" was almost here,

I was so nervous... I forgot my one most fear.

A kiiiiisssss... I knew he would expect of me,

I couldn't give in; I'm just too modest you see.

Guess I'm good at mirroring my thoughts, just like a mime.
