First Kiss

That first kiss...
Is always the sweetest,
It leaves you the weakest
The anticipation,
The open invitation,
To do something,
You've never done before
All the hidden meaning,
All of the feelings,
That pour through you both,
When your lips touch
Nothing, is the same...
Everything that you've known before,
Now just seems so plain
There is the promise of tomorrow,
And a hint of pain

That first kiss...
That you have waited so long for
In that moment of connection,
You aren't waiting anymore
That first kiss makes you come alive,
Makes you feel things inside,
That you don't, can't comprehend,
Knocks you off your feet,
Just like the wind
In that moment all is real,
You are unable to pretend
Souls unite...
Even if it's only for,
A brief second in time
For that one heartbeat,
You are forever combined
