You kissed me softly and ran your huge hands through my messy hair. Your fingertips trailed down the length of my jaw, down my neck, and back up to my ear. Everything intensified. This is a first for me. You are all there is. The world around me stops mattering and it’s just you. You and your hands and your beautiful face and the way your thoughts glow. The way your smile makes me feel warmth throughout my whole body. Your lips part mine and we’re pressed together now. Pure passion with rhythm. Your lips on my neck. One hand in my hair, the other on my back. I feel my heart pounding so fast, the blood raging through my veins with strong current. My legs are around you now. We share our heat. I think of nothing but you, entirely lost in the moment. This moment of us. Only us. No one else. The stars shine for us, the wind moves for us. It’s me and you and you and me and that all that matters.

 But before things get too intense, you slow down. Your kisses get slower and your lips linger on mine. You kiss me one last time and smile with that look in your eyes. I know you feel as lucky as I do. You whisper, “It’s not time, I want to take this slow,” and I realize how much you care. I don’t love you, but I like you a whole hell of a lot. And for right now, I just want you to hold my tiny hands.
