Tender Kiss in the Woods

We arrive late,

You show me around,

I\'m a little cold, but you\'ve kept we warm.

We stay out till midnight,

just talking,

about everything,

I look through the dense fog,

I can barley see,

only a speck of light,

I look to you,

you hold me.

Nothing came out of that night,

except a lot of thoughts.

You took me for a hike,

a lot of snow,

the dense woods,

heavy winds,

couldn\'t distract.

We talk for hours,

you ask me how I feel about you,

I couldn\'t have been more eager to tell you,

as I looked into your eyes,

I am consumed,

so alluring,

I tell you, you felt the same.

We couldn\'t stop smiling,

Nightfall has come,

you are cold,

I hold your hand as we check to walk back,

you got very tired,

we stopped just before we hit the trail,

you moved closer,

closer, until then,

a tender kiss in the woods.

You smile after blushing, embarrassed, but happy.

I hadn\'t had my first kiss yet,

I was no longer cold after that,

I felt so warm from you,

\"One more\" before we leave the trail.

3 years in the making,

but it was worth the wait.

I know I am supposed to be with you.

After we kissed,

I couldn\'t stop thinking about you.

So elegant,

so intelligent,

so soft...

I want to convince them,

I yearned for her for years,

it sounds so dumb,

but I need to surpass my fears.

You are the one I fancy,

I don\'t want to sneak,

it\'s a bit chancy,

a lot happened that week.

They don\'t understand,

I am not them I am me,

I held your right hand,

I just felt free.

I want to go back,

so we can get away again,

no sounds, no drama,

no people, no restriction.

Just you, me,

and a tender kiss in the woods.
