The First Kiss

that moment of trepidation,
am I brave enough for this?
should I dare attempt what
I so want,
and touch her with my kiss?

is it premature?
would she feel the same?
maybe better later
the excuses sounded lame

so boldly going where
no doubt many
have gone before
I kissed her tenderly
still was quite unsure

then she responded
in a way
I'd never dreamt she would
it seemed quite likely
she thought the kiss was good

and so began a love affair,
that lasts on through today
and it just goes to prove to ya'
love is as grand as they say
