rose

i met rose at the Hungarian club
her parents liked my parents
i don't know why
i didn't even like my parents
but i do now, they seemed too odd and i can't explain it really
but rose was nice
she was 4 years older than me
maybe scratch that
she was 6 years older than me, back then I couldn't tell time and i still can't
does it even exist?

the club was rundown but the food was good
the adults could drink and smoke inside
play cards, socialize
without a cell phone

she lured me upstairs, a ways from it all
into the darkness and we sat
she was my first kiss
rose was  beautiful
rose loved me

and i loved rose
