First Kiss

It's a funny thing

about a first kiss

Sometimes it's awkward,

sometimes it's beyond pleasurable,

and sometimes you wish that you could have that same experience

to do over again

You kept leaning in

two or three times you did

But then when you finally kissed me

you caught me by surprise

no warning

no hesitation

suddenly we were eye lashes to eye lashes

and lips to lips

I don't know how long we stayed that way

a minute

an hour

The entire night

but it wasn't one kiss

it was a series of kisses

each one better than the last

but none as good as the first

when your lips pressed against mine

like I'd been hoping they would all along.
