First Kiss

I tremble on the inside,

But still reach out for your hand,

I force myself not to shake

Even though I stand so close

That we breathe the same air.

Your smile reaches your eyes

And I lean into you

Unsteady on my feet,

Lips brushing just before they meet.

Tentative, hesitant, uncertain at first.

Never have I kissed before.

Never have I felt this way.

Your arms encase me

And your lips tease me

And your fingers move through my hair.

I feel alive and in love.

I feel your warmth envelope me.

I kiss you again, fully, deeply, completely.
