First Kiss Poem by Tess Tessier

I remember our first kiss. We were on the dance floor. The music surrounding and our bodies engulfed
in the waves of rhythm.
I looked at you and you smiled. I never felt so disarmed. My heart beating faster
Afraid like a child feeling loss of innocence.
I leaned over and gently touched your lips to mine and quickly pulled away. You smiled again. My heart
beating even faster
Staring in your eyes lost in your soul I put my hand gently behind your neck and pulled you closer to me
embracing your lips to mine. My knees felt weak. Drunk and paralyzed in your sweet kiss.
Dizziness.
Weakness.
Vulnerable.
Intoxicating.
Lost.
Was I standing or am I floating?
No longer music playing only beating of hearts
Heavy breathing yet suffocating
Your arms embraced my waist pulling me closer to you
Our bodies entangled
Time stood still no one around
Alone in your embrace connected as one.
Hearts beating as one
No longer us.
Just one.
