The affectionate feelings,
as you walk side by side.
Wondering if he will do it,
and how it will feel if he does.
Daydreaming, wishing, attraction.

The stop at the front door,
awkward pauses and fidgeting.
Unending conversations,
actually talking about the weather.
Heart pounding, nerve racking, anticipation.

Not wanting to be too forward,
not wanting to leave without it.
So nervous and full of anxiety,
that you think you’ll be bad at it.
Pulse racing, palm sweating, hesitation.

Making eye contact,
seeing the need in her eyes.
She is as scared as you are.
Your nerves settle and resolve rises.
Calm breathing, heart swelling, determination.

Leaning in closer,
hands cupping her face.
Tasting her lips on yours,
tongues touching at last.
Tender feelings, love blooming, exploration.
