My heartbeat sped,
Like that of a runner sprinting the last two feet of his winning relay.
Your hair,
That shirt,
Those gorgeous, green eyes.
You were a beautiful sight for sore eyes.
I watched you get in the car,
Felt your warmth growing ever closer,
Still slightly out of my reach.
A roller-coaster of amazing emotions.
Joy, all smiles as we ate and joked.
The company of others embalming us in conversations.
I steal a glance into your eyes and get lost.
Fighting to stay seated, forcing myself to stay away.
The depth,
The angle of the glance,
The overhead lamp making little pools of light in your eyes,
It was all right.
Running and jumping to a friends,
Two couples completely intertwined.
We pull up a blanket,
Snuggle close.
My eyes close
I let your warmth flow over me.
Letting it pump through my veins
To the tips of my toes,
All the way back up to my flushed face.
We kiss
My heart plummets
Taking a giant leap into the unknown.
Lover's leap
