It Was Just A Kiss...Right?

Adolescence, sexuality, coming of age, love and confusion
It was summer, we were friends
But that's not where it ends.
We went swimming, alone that night
And we kissed.

She looked so pretty in the moon that night,
And the action just seemed right.
Her eyes sparkled like the stars, so bright,
And we kissed.

I was all of 13, but I know I felt things some adults never will;
A certain type of closeness, a certain type of thrill,
I felt it all,
When we kissed.

I may have forgotten to mention, something you might not know,
I am a girl too, but am I gay? I don't think so...?
I mean, after all,
We just kissed.

I thought I knew myself, but I know what I felt.
I have so many confusing thoughts, with which I have not yet dealt.
Why am I over thinking this?
It was just a kiss.

I don't know her anymore, I have no chance to try again,
To see if it was something more, or if I only like men.
Am I crazy?
It really was just a kiss... right?
