you?’
    Lyrics –
         It is three a.m. and I
know Tyler is still awake. Although I am embarrassed from my girlish behavior,
I did tell him I would call. Not in the mood to talk, I decide to text him. “Tyler,
I am really sorry about earlier.”
         Tyler texts back, “Tanner looked
like he wanted to tear me up. If I was inappropriate, I apologize!”
         I laugh and reply, “No,
you were fine.”
         He texts, “Maybe Tanner
doesn’t only think of you as his best friend anymore?”
         His words strike me as if a
train just hit me square in the chest and knock the air right out of me! First,
I think Tyler is ridiculous. Tanner dates short, slutty chicks…not women like
me…hell, they aren’t even women yet! No way is that the reason he acted like
that with Tyler. Tanner is my best friend and I would never want to lose him,
which is the exact reason that I have never told him how much I want to be more
than just his best friend. I would give up the world for him. When I told him
that I wanted to move to Austin and write music, he insisted on coming with me.
I wanted to get some distance from him because it ripped my heart out every
time I saw him touch another girl. Every holiday Dad and I spent over at the
Staff’s house, I dreamed that one day he would be my husband and the family
would come to our house. The gentle way he brushes my hair out of my face sends
a shock through my stomach, which automatically slams my thighs shut. I wanted
him to be my first, but instead, he was the one I told first when it happened. How
weird is that?
         My phone gets a text. Tyler.
“Hello? Did you fall asleep?”
         I forgot all about Tyler. I
text back, “Yep, sorry, dozed off. Talk to you tomorrow.” He texts back a
smiley face but probably wanted to text a middle finger, which I wouldn’t blame
him for!
         I think about this one
amazing summer night Tanner and I spent together, it was June 29, my seventeenth
birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Staff made dinner for me at their house. Mrs. Staff made
my favorite dish, corned beef and cabbage. She was an amazing cook, well, an all-around
amazing woman! Dad gave me a gift wrapped in a small box with his best effort
at making a bow. It was actually very sweet. I opened it up and it was the broach
that he had given my mother after they shared their first kiss. He told the
story and everybody was enthralled. He always looked sad when speaking of my
mom. I was only eight when she passed away but I remember how sad he was. Under
the table, I felt a kick. I looked at Tanner and he nudged his head and dragged
his eyes for me to go outside. He looks at the broach and signals for me to
bring it with me. I get up from the table and ask to be excused. Tanner follows
me outside. I say, “What’s wrong? Were you bored in there or what?”
         He smiled and said, “Heck
no, I love hearing about your Mom. I just wish I could have met her.”
         I say, “Me too. She would
have loved you. So why did you want to come out here?”
          Tanner got real fidgety
and took my hand, removed the broach from the box. “Um, well, as your dad was
your mom’s first kiss…I would like to be yours. You haven’t kissed anybody,
right?” I shook my head no. I was so nervous I could barely move. Tanner took my
hand and looked me in the eye before saying, “I just want to make sure your
first kiss is special and with somebody that cares about you.” He moved in
slowly and pressed his lips against mine. He took my bottom lip in his mouth,
and when my lips parted, his tongue went in my mouth. He pulled away quickly. I
was in a trance-like state. In such a loving, romantic way, he pinned the broach
on my shirt. He leaned in, kissed my cheek, and whispered to me that he wished
that I had been his first kiss too. What he doesn’t know is that I had
fantasized about that kiss for four years and it was more than
