The anticipation before that first kiss
The spark and yearning to discover
Building slowly and unexpectedly
Those light brushes of your breath across my lips
Turning away, promising contact and connection, soon…
Teases of what we both suddenly wanted
The desire for your kiss taking me by surprise
As our lips meet, and part, slowly, I sigh…
Softness and suppleness of touch taking my breath away
Your mouth on mine, a step taken that couldn’t be undone
Bridging the space that was already closing between us
sweet with a bit of a bite, like life.
