our first kiss
sitting on a park bench
shivering in the autumn wind.
its been a long time since he went away
I am ready to love again.
a feeling of freedom fills my soul
with this realization
and as you take my hand
I shiver with anticipation.
I feel giddy and lightheaded.
you seem masculine and strong.
as your lips brush mine
my fears are gone.
every nerve in my being tingles
as our mouths meet.
you hold me close
your kiss strong and sweet.
wrapping my arms about your neck
pouring my heart into this kiss
I lean into you
why cant love always be like this?
