The First Kiss

 Do you remember the first time on the couch,

I had my arms around you like I always did. 

And you hid your face from the horror movie

In the protection of my chest, 

I laughed at your reaction 

Lifting your head up by the chin. 

Our noses touched, and then we hesitated. 

The curiosity growing in us 

To know, explore and taste. 

We gave in to the youth's call.


Our lips touched for the first time. 

Do you remember I asked 

Are you sure?

You said there is no turning back from this point

On other days, I would debate it, 

Today, all I could do was nod 

And give in to lust 

Promising myself it was love 

When it wasn't 

Perhaps to make me feel better 

When I saw it in your eyes.
