First Kiss

I walked in steady, heart held tight Promises folded, guarded and sure

Then your hand found mine, the world went still Every rule I built began to bend

I thought I knew how this would go Measured steps, no falling fast

Your smile broke my careful pace Something in me slipped, it's past

We talked in circles, closer now Every word drew me near

Your breath against my waiting skin Turned every doubt into clear

Then time paused between your eyes and mine No warning, no disguise

When our mouths finally met My strength gave up the fight

I folded into you, perfect fit Edges gone, no space between

Two souls locking into place The safest place I've ever been

That first kiss took my ground away Left my heart in your hands to stay

I held on tight, afraid to breathe Knowing right then you belong with me

Your arms became my chosen home Every pull said don't release

I felt my name inside your chest beating back

I tasted hope upon your lip Felt my future start to spin

Every fear I carried in Fell apart beneath your skin

I never planned to need this much Never meant to fall so deep

Yet here I stand, undone and sure Praying this moment we keep

If loving you is losing ground I'll gladly let it go

I'll hold you close no matter what This truth is all I know

That kiss, that fool, that silent vow Every piece is yours now

I won't let go, I won't retreat You and I fit perfectly

If the world tries to pull us apart I'll find you wherever you are

My hands remember the shape of you My heart already swore it's true

That first kiss took my ground away Left my heart in your hands to stay

I held on tight, afraid to breathe Knowing right then you belong with me

So here I am, no walls, no fear Wrapped in the promise we began

One kiss changed who I am forever Still holding on, never letting go

Never letting go
