My first kiss

The moment was awkward and all was still
One moment we were laughing and then silence prevailed.
Our eyes met but I grew afraid—
Quickly I blushed and looked the other way.
But he just smiled at me and took my hand—
Sometimes I just hate it when he always understands.

And even more when he tucks my hair behind my ear.

He looks at me like that and logic just disappears…

I get weak in the knees, my hands start to shake
Has anyone ever compared love to an earthquake?
If not, I would have to say that’s how it makes me feel
I have to sit down or I cannot deal
And he just laughs at me as he sets me down
Safely, I sit upon the ground…

But he’s still looking at me strange…
Is my secret out? Does he feel the same way?
But what if he doesn’t, I thought too much?
And there’s no secret meaning behind his touch?

I hate it when I do that
It’s the reason why I never did well at math…

Maybe if I say something—what is this?
He just touched my lips with his fingertips!
Did he know I was going to say what’s on my mind?
Oh no! Maybe he wants to say he’ll never be mine…

Maybe if I use my puppy dog eyes?
No…that’d be bad. He might be force to lie.

He’s shaking his head. This could be bad.
He promised he would never make me sad!

Now he’s looking away…I’ll just pretend
That I’m looking at the grass and not him!
Brilliant! He’ll never suspect a thing
Well of course just as long as I don’t start to sing.

Love songs are all I know; it might look weird
To serenade the grass—it’s like picturing grandma in a beard.

Wait, she does have a beard…

Great, now I’m giggling and he’s looking at me again
Quick! Quick! Think! Pretend!
Ah yes, that is a lovely blade of grass
Really, I think it shows a lot of class…

I don’t think he’s buying my act
Thank you, Captain Obvious, for that fact…

So I sigh because I just can’t believe
How silly this whole thing has come to be.
Now these emotions are just growing way too strong
If I hang around, I won’t be able to move on…

Why does this sort of thing always happen to me?
Isn’t love supposed to set you free?

“I just can’t do this, ” I hear him say
My eyes widen. Is he really going to walk away?
No! What have I done?
Have my feelings officially ruined all the fun?

“What? ” That’s right. I’ll just play dumb.

But he’s grinning at me. He knows I can’t resist…
Now he’s leaning forward…

I think I just got my first kiss!

I blinked a few times, and he blinked too
And that’s when I got careless…
I blurted out “I love you. ”

And I’ll never forget what he said next
“I know. I’ve always loved you too”

So we kissed again…

And that’s how I made a lover
Out of my best friend.
