O My We Finally Kissed 

Anthony Hanible

O My 

The night leaned in with us

Soft around the edges

As if it wanted to keep our secret

A little longer

Your lips met mine

Like a promise finally spoken

Slow and certain

The kind of warmth

That blooms through the ribs

Before you can stop it

I felt you breathe

That tiny hitch

That quiet yes

And something in me

Unfolded so gently

I almost didn’t notice

I was smiling

The world didn’t disappear

It just stepped back

Letting us glow

In our small bright corner

Of the moment

O My 

We finally kissed

And everything in me

Is still holding

The sweetness of it
