The First Damn Kiss

He called up,

Butterflies went astray

In my tummy.

It was Christmas in May.

I'd been building the courage

To tell him 'I love you',

And hug him so tight

I would never have to let him go.

But he seemed so lost

In his thoughts,

It scared me to think

He was into some other blonde.

So I sat there in my pretty pink maxi

And gave him a smile,

my nude lips spread wide.

While my heart lurched in my body.

We talked, we ate,

We drank and then he paid.

He said, "let me drop you."

And I said, "I rather walk."

He said, "let me come with you

I want to have some serious talk."

We crossed a lane and

Took a turn.

My house was built

In the greener part

Of the city and it was rather quiet.

And then it happened & took me by surprise.

He took my hands into his

(That he never ever did),

And came so close it caught my breath.

He said I have to do one thing...

He then kissed me smack on the lips.

I wish I knew how to respond,

Coz I just gave him a jerk at first

And then as he eased into me,

My mouth just opened,

Gave way to his tease.

Slowly my fingers crawled upto his face,

And explored each bit again & again.

"This was happening, wasn't it?

He was gonna propose to me?

Shoot it's too early

This is just my first kiss."

A mile a minute, my bran sprinted

As he devoured my plump lower lip.

I wish I could tell him how strongly I felt.

But at that very moment

My knees were a wreck.

He let me go finally.

It felt like a decade

Had passed in the meantime,

As we stood in a tight embrace.

That's when I realised

This is all I ever wanted.

To be in his arms for a lifetime;

Forever.

I could tell you more

But suffice it to say,

It's been 10 years

And he's still kissing

As if for the very first time.
