A first kiss

Maybe if I Write it Down it Will Go Away (so I can study), or, A First Kiss, or, Complicated Situations.

Lean in.
Close eyes.
Taste breath, cigarettes.
Pause, savor the moment just before contact.
Touch lips; it isn't a kiss yet,
just an accidental collision of lips,
that happened with purpose.
Step closer; "gravity: the force of attraction..."
Enjoy the warmth.
Be gentle, the tongue comes to you
and it should be greeted kindly.
Brace youself; never mind, it has been taken care of,
Now returne the favor.
Slide away; slowly, it doesn't mean anything,
Until you see the eyes.
"Gravity: Seriousness or critical nature"
Keep yours closed as long as you can,
and pray for the teary glisten of orbits shifting.
