In Love

He stroked his fingers through my hair. The tension between us is rising. He and I
both know it's coming. I lean my head towards him, and he does the same. Our lips
connect like magnets. The perfect kiss.
After about 8 seconds, I slowly pulled my face away from his face and put it so that
my nose would relate to his nose. He looks at me eagerly and smiles.
We stayed in that position for about 5 minutes. Just by that kiss, we know more
about each other than we could ever know. We were saving it for when we knew we
were truly right for each other.
