First Kiss

Nervous though I am
I know what is happening
The time long awaited
Has finally come
My hands are shaking
As I press close to you
But calmed by your whispers
I understand what to do
Burning looks
Of hopeless passion
Blinding colours
Without seeing
Perceiving your way
Trusting and believing
Nearer we are
Closer we get
Finally we meet
And a shiver passes through me
In your arms I am held
Firm yet gently
As the kiss takes hold
Your comfort surrounds me
Exchanging affection
Without a sound
I break away
And a smile forms on your lips
I watch and understand
I had my first kiss
