First Kiss

jboelhow

We’ve both been here before
Just not with each other
Ready for the night to end
Understanding the importance of the moment

Is this where we start making promises
We won’t
We can’t keep
“I’ll die for you”
“I’ll love you forever”
Knowing these promises are impossible to keep

Maybe we should hold onto
This strip of freedom
Letting the moment pass
For now

Standing here
With our fingers interlocked
You are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen
Until tomorrow

Our eyes lock
The moment of truth is now
I wonder
If you feel the tension
I wonder
If you have the same questions
The same fears
Of being alone
Of losing freedom
Of not understanding love

A smile creeps onto your face
And I decide
On the moment.
