Analysis of My Very First Kiss



My very first kiss
came out and found me today
just to remind me
about innocence

and how it tastes,
when things are new;
when I was "all wide-eyed
and bushy-tailed"

I didn't know so much
and I was still wise in
my ignorance.

My very first kiss
came out and found me today
just to remind me
about innocence.
