A Kiss For Courage

It was the beginning of April

And as cold as ice

I told myself that I only cuddled up to you

To stop me from getting frostbite

But you put your arm around me

And you smelled really nice

And I went home with a smile on my face

That night

From that day on

I saw you everywhere I went

And I can’t think of any other moments

That were well worth spent

You made it clear that you liked me

And I didn’t know what to say

Because the only other guy who had said that

Had said it for a dare

Then ran away

But you were persistent

No matter how many times I ignored you

So eventually

I admitted that I like you too

But you must have seen the scared look in my eyes

Because you asked me if I was alright

I told you all about my insecurities

And lack of relationships

Then you leaned in

For our very first kiss

It was magical and perfect

Everything that I could have hoped for

Definitely not something

Worth getting scared for

Now we just celebrated

Our 2-year anniversary

And I’m so glad

That I gathered up the courage

To tell you what was worrying me
