i remember the first time we kissed that night,

a kiss I still long for, forevermore.

it wasn't perfect, but it was the greatest

i’ve ever tasted in my life’s lore.

my fingers intertwined with yours,

skin on skin, we drowned in silence.

then you wrapped your hand around my back,

touching me gently, as if finding a secret button.

Cigarettes After Sex played softly in the background,

your lips felt like an apocalypse, I swear.

to me, our kiss was like rumbling thunder,

and heavy rain in the summer air.

i was drawn into your heart,

your fiery soul, your blue universe,

like a slice of heaven on this earth.

that night, for reasons unknown,

i realised that we truly belong.
