I Like This Thing Called Dating

Last night, my very first girlfriend took me to dinner at BBQ's, the one located on 72nd street. First time I ever been in BBQ's too. I had my mind set on a burger from jump street. Its a nice place, but I see it as an upscale McDonald's with ample seating.

At first I was nervous cause I didn't know what to talk about. But things just came as natural as anything else I have been doing. She had on glasses and I asked her to remove them. This was the young girl that was my first girlfriend...now grown. I see it in her eyes, the youth of yesteryear, and all the memories came rushing back. I was taken back to those memories, of times where there were no worries. Times of going to school, summer day camps, loose cigarettes for 3 cents. We caught up on family and asking each other questions of where is so and so.

As with any family, we all have problems, especially there were some in mine, but I never knew what her background was, is on her family. Last night she told me and I was surprised. What you don't know when you're young, you never ask cause at that time it was all about fun and good times. Present day, now, know I understand what was what and why people acted in the way that they did.

After dinner, we went by her place of employment since it was right in the area. Was introduced to her co workers..hey I'm the guy that she grew up with as kids. I'm the guy that she has taken out to dinner. I guess they, her coworkers approve of me. From there, it was time to take her home, the train ride. You can't hold a conversation on a NYC train, too noise, and you have to speak louder, and then people will hear your convo, so every now and then I would say something. Something to let her know that I was interested in her. What I really wanted was to hold her in my arms.

Once at her place, she introduced me to her family, I was captivated by the VERY large screen tv in the living room. Nat Geo, a show on hippopotamus was on, it was like there were actually right there in the living room, I watched tv. She wanted to go to the store, we both went and then it was time for me to leave.

I went to kiss her on her cheek, and she turned her lips toward mine. Again, I was taken back to childhood memories, I wanted to make love to her right then and there. I left, for my long train ride back to Queens.
