That Awkward First Kiss

I can remember it clear as day.
We were in his car, talking. As 
our conversation came to close,
he asked me a startling question--
"Would you like to kiss?"

My shyness kicked into hyper-drive 
and I was a loss for words. I managed 
a nod with a nervous smile. 
What if I mess up? I don't know how to kiss.
Hesitantly, like he was as nervous as I was,
he put a hand on my cheek 
and pulled me close, making my nervous thoughts vanish. 

Butterflies magically appeared in my stomach 
with a flitter and a flutter. Then 
his lips were on mine and all thoughts 
vacated my mind--all except for the ones about him.
And I kissed him back. A wry smile 
formed on my lips when he bit my 
lower lip--I returned the action and bit his.
It was when we came up for air that I 
felt myself blushing--I'm almost certain 
I looked like a tomato. He didn't notice. 
And I thought it was cute how, when 
he walked me to my dorm, that he 
admitted that he had little experience with kissing.
