First Kiss

Just the mention of these two words
brings with it a set of criteria
of what is expected
But now take a girl
who, up until now,
was never allowed to fall in love
but, once entering college,
was strangely granted permission
though she by now had immunity
a shield of mock cynicism
but though she takes a brave stance
she knows nothing.
And then, take a boy
who lived out his teenage years
focused on studies, no time for a love
yet, a hopeless romantic
watched every old hallmark movie
and put himself in the scenes
memorizing the script
but though hes been dreaming
he knows nothing.
Couple this with a chilly, crisp night
the first day of November, with leaves falling round
a dark tree-lined pathway, a clear full moons light
Not daring to think, yet overanalyzing
the closer they lean, the more terrified they become
their foreheads touch, a familiar position
but this time they dont pull away.
they stare into each others eyes,
their breath becoming measured
then held
and suddenly, someone gives in
and ducks their head closer
his lips cover hers
and the waiting is over.
Terrified, terrified
all the visions come back
of old Hallmark movies
and couples theyd seen
they have now somehow sealed
the pact that joins them
with those other people
the ones he had envied
and she had scoffed at
the ones who are in love.
