from then

tv is on

been dating a few weeks

old fashioned

he's been so sweet

almost too polite

i've never felt this

my heart pounds

find the courage

quickly lose it

whip my arm back

slide fingers between his

finally did it

"was that smooth?"

"very smooth" he laughs

deep relief

he grazes my hand

with his thumb

back and forth

so much comfort

such a small movement

beginning of forever
