It’s been how many years now?
It still feels like yesterday. I met you and I was instantly swept off my feet. I once came in contact with your skin and I was aware of my nature as the opposite sex. You looked too good to be true and I just wanted to lock eyes with you.
You always looked smart and carried yourself in such an elegant manner. Your eyes were sparkling and innocent like a baby’s and I couldn’t wish for anything more.
I was very young and naive. I didn’t know what a kiss meant. I just felt a tingling sense of attraction that I know was not just platonic. I wanted to live in it. I wanted to experience it.
I finally built up the courage to talk to you. I realized you wanted the same but you were too shy to approach me.
How delightful!
I always looked forward to seeing you g, I always wanted to feel that tingling sensation again. I wanted to feel the tension build up again and feel the sparks come up between us.
The Kiss.
Kissing you was a discovery to me at that time. It was like getting something you have been craving for a long time. It was like laying your hands on something new and different from the ordinary.
You came close to me and held my hands. I felt cold shivers run down my spine and my mouth go dry at the instant. I stood still, frozen for a few seconds till you snapped me out of it.
You looked into my eyes and pulled my face closer to yours and locked lips with mine. At that moment, I didn’t want anything else. I could not even hold you. I just stood there fixed to a spot.
I wanted it to go on but I didn’t know how to react. It tasted like heaven and as our tongues twirled in each other’s, the tension grew more and more. I savored the taste of your tongue and it was heavenly.
It was a short kiss, but it was definitely worth the wait. As you pulled away from my face, I was too stunned to speak and also too shy to look at you.
Maybe it happened out of a very young and pure love or maybe it was just to test and pass time. I know what I felt and I would never trade that for anything. Even though we don’t talk anymore, to my first kiss:
Thank you for giving me a very good beginning.
Yours Sincerely,
Your first kiss.
The In-Between.
To be very frank, it was a kiss I looked forward to with you. You had talked so much about it on the phone and I couldn’t help but stride along.
We met on a texting platform and he was amazed at how I looked. You began talking and the conversation got very intense, leading to so much discussion on the kiss.
Everytime you mentioned the kiss, I would abruptly brush it off because I didn’t even feel you that much. You wouldn’t bulge or try to deduce my reaction from our conversations so I just followed on.
When the kiss finally came, it was gentle but void of emotions. It was bare, dry and plain. There were no feelings or emotions passed across. No sparks, no fire, no nothing. It was bland.
I knew I had to stop you. It was becoming irritating and I just needed to run. Faster than my legs could carry me. It had to be the last I heard from you. Never again to this. The boaster.
To the In-Between,
To hell with you.
You.
Hey Papa,
I met you in a very cunning way and it has been history since then. It was the worst setting and a non serious way to meet.
It was in the night. It was a magical night. It is a night I will always remember. We remember that night and joke about it very much now. It was the night a lot changed for me but I hadn’t realized it yet.
Even though we spent very few hours with each other before getting into the Lockdown period. I longed for you, at least the beginning of when I started knowing you. I craved you like I crave success.
It was overwhelming. It was tricky and it was certain it wouldn’t stay for long. Soon enough I forgot about you. And as the Lockdown deepened, it became harder to long for you.
I met you after the lockdown and as I set my eyes on you, the hunger for you grew stronger. I could see it in your eyes that you wanted to kiss me too.
I pulled you into my room and locked lips with you. I wanted to make this a long one and I definitely got what I wanted. It was a tension relieving kiss, it was one that you want to relive every moment of it.
His lips tasted like honey and as saliva mixed with each others, our emotions drowned in the welcome of the other. It felt like a taste of heaven. I wanted more. I wanted to feel more. I needed to feel more.
It was slow and sexy, as we grabbed each other and sucked at each other’s tongues. Tugging at each other’s clothes and inhaling each other’s breaths, it was a night to remember.
All I could think of was sucking at your lips and tongue. I let go and let you taste me and enjoy every taste my lips had to offer. The low groan you made as the kiss got intense and heated gave me joy.
I remember that night just like yesterday and even though I have kissed other people before you, you’re definitely my last. I want to live in this moment of kissing forever with you.
This I know we did out of love. In the name of love. We felt love and we explored it with our lips and body. Our lips moved in sync and we definitely understood the assignment.
Forever Yours Papa,
Your Woman.
