This is just the shortest of stories, but tells of that first kiss with my her, that feeling that has never ever left me, the most wonderful of moments I shall treasure always. And you know what reader?…this feeling just gets better and better each time!

We parked our cars that warm summer evening. We parked on busy roads adjacent to our destination- a park of woodland and trees, of childhood memories of ice creams and fun with parents. I wondered as we walked that night whether she knew just what this place had meant to me when growing up.

We walked in, keen to hide ourselves from view. We walked a short time. Our conversation free, but still both of us nervous and unsure. After all, neither of us knew the other and neither of us could possibly comprehend the long loving this night would set us out upon.

Eventually we settled on a nearby bench. Both nervous, both unsure. We talked, brief touches of her shoulder as i grew bolder. Eventually, not knowing what do do or say i simple said such an old fashioned thing..”can i kiss you?”. I steeled myself,ready for our first kiss, never imagining the connection we would both feel within seconds. She closed her eyes and i reached forward, held her face softly in my hands. For some reason i remember asking her if she was ready. Why i do no know, perhaps deep down knowing this feeling we were about to experience would be so different to anything before for either of us?

I held her face and watched as i moved towards her and her eyes closed. I will never forget that moment. I paused and brushed her lips gently with mine, taking her in, before gently kissing her and allowing that feeling now so familiar to us both to sweep over us……total awe and contentment. We embraced and both of us knew right then…..this was diferent.

Later, we shared ourselves in ways and with a connection no person could ever understand. a secret memory of wooded heaven..a first..the start of lifetimes longing…a journey of discovery x

And you know what? i dont get to kiss her as often as i would like, circumstances dictate that we cannot ‘be’ as we wish. But each and every time, even now, a year from that beautiful summers evening…..every time i lock my eyes with hers and embrace her, a new and wonderful feeling drowns me, a power so strong that i know……this is truley a once in a lifetime kiss..we both know it x

Everytime we touch my her…i still feel it..feel my heart beat fast..i want this to last…i needyou in my life xx
