Drunk With Love
It’s been years since we were together
At least, that’s what it seems like
Too long
Far too long
But for one wistful moment
We are standing before one another
Our breaths mingling with the wind
Our smiles mimicking each others
He leans in, and I can’t help it
I’ve been holding back too long
I take a step forward and his eyes glint
Full of laughter? Full of longing?
Then he’s there
Holding me
His lips pressed softly onto mine
His hand slipped perfectly onto the small of my back
This is love
Or is it?
This is perfect
Yes, this is perfect
I pull back and laugh, I feel so giddy I could fly
“My first kiss,” I whisper, “Ever.”
His smile is broad, and I know he’s kissed so many girls before
It shouldn’t matter
But it does
Because they weren’t like me
He told me that, he told me I was different
But why?
I fold myself into his arms again
We smile at one another
And then kiss for forever
Only stopping once or twice for breath
He is mine, I am his
Now that we are together we act as one
The perfect pair
The mismatched teens
I can’t think of anything but his hand
Solidly holding my waist
It’s warmth spreading through me
Like an electric current
I’m fluttery
I’m completely drunk with love
But I am with him
And that is all I need
