The dangers of eating ice-cream

They were sitting eating ice-cream when she looked into his eyes
Saw a sparkle that she’d never seen before
They’d been friends since wearing nappies sharing gurgling and cries
But suddenly she noticed something more
He was thinking Toffee Ripple is a taste to give the gods
When he noticed she was not a little girl
They’d been best of friends forever sharing all their odds and sods
Now he found his world descending in a whirl
While the sun considered setting in a blaze of sky-blue-pink
They were each aware of something very new
He was shy and rather awkward but she’d just begun to think
“When it comes to boys, you know, I think he’d do”
He sat licking very slowly, just a reason not to speak
While his eyes saw she had grown in eighteen years
She was busily not standing as her knees felt very weak
And she didn’t want to show him all her fears
When at last the bowls were empty and the sun worked overtime
There were impulses they couldn’t hide away
When a kiss is full of passion (hints of toffee and of lime)
There is not a lot the kissers need to say
Even now there are no changes they love kisses and ice-cream
And their children are out eating with their friends
While these sweethearts still can’t fathom what first tempted them to dream
And do sweet unhurried love songs have no ends
