The First Kiss

In time, I’d forget how you look like. Your eyes, your prominent cheekbones, the spiked hair you wanted to have dyed. Perhaps I’d even forget your name and the sound of your voice will slowly fade from my memories. We spent just a few hours together anyway and I did not have a clue of your existence prior to that fateful night.

I’d move on with my life and you will, too, a million miles away from me. We’d never see each other again as our love story was merely meant to be 9 hours long. The credits rolled a little too early.

But let it be known that I will never forget about you. You, who held my hand as we walked on the pavement by the sea. We did not care if we stood out among the crowd of people in jogging wear and sweatshirts. For once, I felt like someone was there to take care of me and I was reminded that I, too, am a woman. I will not forget how your fingers encased my palm nor how your pulse beat against mine.

Most of all, I won’t ever forget the rush in my chest as I nibbled on your lower lip. How much I wanted to melt while your goatie tickled my chin and my hand faintly caressed your face. Yours was the first mouth I tasted. I was too shy to tell you, however, that I wanted to kiss you for 9 hours more.

I write this down not for any other reason but the fear of forgetting how glad I am to have shared that moment with you. Thank you very much.

Yes, I just had my first last year…
