People talk about that first kiss
Like it's gonna be
Toe curling
Magical
Something you'll never forget or regret
But sometimes
It's just a kiss
Something sweet
Not toe curling, not magical
But meaningful
A small reminder of your love
Sometimes you don't expect it
And there might be teeth and messiness
And you might not realize it's happened until it's over
But you'll think about the flavour of them
Think about their lips on yours for the rest of the day
And decide you want more
First kisses aren't meant to be magical, toe curling, wonderful, or life altering
They're meant to be a first
Slightly messy
And something you can look back on and go
"You know, that was pretty good for back then"
Because it won't matter
If you accidently knocked the other person a bit by that point
If you forgot to brush your teeth that morning
Or if you'd just eaten something utterly disgusting
It'll matter that it happened
