Life's Tender Way.

I could feel my heart beating faster than ever. The tender touch of your hand. The shivers you caused to run down my spine. You grabbed me by the hand. I could feel my nerves setting themselves high. I could feel my hands shake, but you handled me with care. You say I am a lovely velvet flower. You want to care for me. The bubblicious flavor I can now feel explodes my insides. The salty taste of your lips makes me dizzy. Heaven on Earth. Pulling me closer. Hands around my waist. How I shiver, how I shake, How much anxiety I have for more. You see, my breath, it all went away. I could feel like I was floating. The tender taste of bubble gum, sugary, sweet joy. My mind thinking of. . . nothing. I am blank on the outside, But on the insides I fly. Just don't pull away. Filled with a hundred stars. One thousand wishes. A trillion promises. All of this we once shared. It was our first kiss, seventh grade, last year.
