We were walking down the road.
When I reached out.
For her hand.
She looked at me surprised.
"I've never done
This before."
She blushed.
"What?
Hold hands?"
I wanted to laugh.
She punched me.
"Don't laugh at me!
No one else wanted to."
I pressed my lips.
Against her hand.
Gently.
"Don't worry.
We have many more firsts
To go through.
Before we're through."
