That Moment

Life can be lovely when you least expect it:)

It was a mere moment,

I couldn't tell you exactly what time it was,

Exactly how old he was,

(or exactly how drunk he was).

I can't tell you exactly what he looked like,

Exactly what he was thinking,

Or exactly what he saw in me.

However, I can tell you

How smooth his hands were,

Guiding me into a twirl

Like we were at some grand ball

Instead of a hot, sweaty music fest.

I can tell you how soft his lips were,

As they pressed eagerly to mine,

Like the kiss of a butterfly,

With that exhilaration as it's about to fly.

I can tell you how lovely it felt,

As The Cure played in the distance,

And just for one small second 

The world melted away,

And I wanted it to stay that way.

I can tell you how sorry I am I left,

But I can't tell you his name,

And sometimes I regret that I can't.

I had my first kiss almost a year ago, and I'm just now able to put it into my writing:) Thanks for reading!
God bless <3

I remember my first kiss, it was perfect as they should be. There really isn't an imperfect first kiss if you ask me because we can't help sometimes who it is and that's not always a bad thing. I didn't know how to kiss the first time either, I was really nervous but it was amazing when it did happen for me :) Awesome job

You make the moment linger and pull the reader in. Its the mystery of the moment that gives it impact. I like the simplicity of your writing, how you boil it down to its essence. Excellent work.

I'd be honored if you'd look at "The Forest at Dusk in the Rain" and "Night Comes Softly".
