First

Even now I can recall the furniture
placement and colour schemes.

The floundering man at sea framed
against the flowering rose wallpaper
now withering away under shades of
ocean blue on the canvas the hallway
provided.

I recall where I was, who was there,
the time, it was darkening outside
summers nearly there point, wheat
in the fields short with the humidity
high

I remember what he wore, down to
the pattern on his T-shirt, the off
white laces on his trainers, the golden
perm in his hair, the way he looked
flushed the way he spoke nervously,

could he have a word he'd said
beckoning me next to the floundering
man amongst the roses..
would you like to go out with me

Till the day I die I'd never forget
and my reply of a shy
yes
but..to my credit I looked him square
in the eye as I spoke it out.

And then the pause..



 
It was just after that pausing for
breath moment that I swear he
turned into a god of the genius loving
thoughtful kind,
all I'd read, wanted to happen,
scenarios wished and prayed for.

His immortal lines as he took the lead
Robin Hood to me his Maid Marion,
smiling, he whispered
Come here
as he put his arms around me
mine around his as if the most natural
of things to be doing at 14
but then he kissed me
my thoughts exploded with flows of emotions
blood pumping, heart racing breathless beats.

I was there
in love
for the first time

and yes I did get responsive with the deep kissing thing
I doubt even to this day that he's ever had a better kisser than
me.
