The Big One

Getting ready for a first date.
Oh how awsome! Oh how great!
Butterflies in my stomach,
Pins in my hair.
I hear the doorbell ring.
Should I be the one to get it?
My last question...hows my hair?
I slowly walk with poise and ease.
Is it getting hot in here to you or is it just me?
I open the door and ,
Oh look its you!
I smile telling him to hold on theres something I have to do.
Grabbing my purse and yelling goodbye.
Watching mom tear up,
getting ready to cry.
Arrive at the movies,
What galor!
The line is short.
They have two tickets more!
Buy some popcorn,
Grab a seat.
My palms all sweaty,
My legs are weak.
The lights go dim.
His arm comes around.
I grin and laugh.
Oh no!
Did he hear me make that snorting sound?
Oh good,
He didn't hear but wait!
Is he drawing me closer near?
I start to feel panicy.
My throat gets dry.
I can't even think of the movie,
But why?
We both reach for the coke,
My hand on his.
Oh no!
Here it comes.
My very first kiss.
