First Kiss

Walking hand in hand
On white sand beaches
Down on the Gulf Coast
Both longing to feel
The warmth of the other's lips

Talking about their lives
Deep in conversation
About REAL life
Sharing likes and dislikes
Revealing trials and tribulations

After she revealed to him
One truly heartbreaking moment
She had suffered through
At the hands of another
He stopped in his tracks

Turning to face her
Looking into the woman
He draws so much inspiration from
Places his loving hands
On each side of her face

As a light shower begins to fall
He notices the tears
Drying on her cheeks
This sight broke his heart
Leaned down kissing them away

Tightly embracing this tender man
Never wanting to let go
Her lips tingling
Needing to feel his
One look and he knew

With a soft and caring touch
A single finger lifted her chin
Their wanting lips meet
Both losing their loneliness
As they melt into one another
