First Kiss
Aug 22, 2017 · 1 min read


Standing in front of the fountain
He takes her hand and smiles
“I read your letter today”
She worries that she pushed
Too hard, too early
He turns and looks into her eyes
Her smile comes on slowly
She realizes that it wasn’t
Too early or too much
He leans in for a tentative first kiss
She returns it tentatively
Passion grows in both
The kiss becomes stronger
Both afraid the other would think
Them inexperienced and pull away
Both unaware how new this was,
Neither kissed nor loved before
This heady thing called love
This wonder of a first kiss
Discovering each other
Finding the match to their soul
A first love gotten right by chance
Grows for years, decades, a life
Together still. Each remembering
That sweet loving first kiss
