first kiss

We leaned in, 
your eyes wide,
a soft tremor in your breath,
as if this couldn’t be real. 

Your lips brushed mine, 
soft, hesitant, 
then you pulled back, stammering, 
"Wait, what? We’re… kissing?" 

I laughed against your lips, 
your cheeks burning red, 
as you kept rambling, 
lost in your own surprise. 

I held your face, 
steady and sure. 
"Shut your mouth," I whispered, grinning,
"and kiss me like you mean it."

And you did, 
shy at first, 
then certain, 
as if it was all you’d ever wanted.
