First Kiss

It started from the moment she

readjusted her position to be

more comfortable

barely leaning her head on his shoulder

Then

His arm around her shoulders

Fingers gingerly tracing her delicate shoulders

She smiled into his beating heart

Warmth

Her lovely black hair tickled his nose

Nervous giggling

repositioned her head which brought her forehead

Dangerously close to his beautifully rough chin

Her small arms barely enveloping his chest

Tentatively reaching for the back of his neck

As his fingers traced down the length of her torso

Kindling tiny tremorous intakes of breath

He was

Ever so tender; ever so reverent

Then -

She looked up at him

Caressing his face

Gently pressed her lips onto his cheek

On a shy, courageous impulse

Her head ringing with the quickened pulse of his heart

As he turned his body

Brought his face closer

Oh

She was surprised

At the overeager entrance of an early intruder

When she had barely even properly greeted his soft lips

Confused, she tried to greet them again

But unlike the heedful fingers

It was inexpertly hasty

Rushed - almost forced.

She pulled away, feeling

delightfully distraught

distastefully divine

However

It had made him - who was unattainable, too incandescent -

Human

Just like her

She smiled

It was her first kiss...

...A delicious disaster
