We settled on a park bench,
away from the crowd.
I lay bashfully on your lap,
looking up as we talked.
The air between us was thick with tension.
But it was not
with sensual passion.
We were both enjoying our conversation
and delighted to be in that enchanting moment.
My hand covered your eyes playfully;
we played a game of “what’s near” gleefully.
Electricity drew us closer.
Our faces gingerly
inches from each other.
Gentle and cautious with no want for more,
we joined and parted lips,
that moment etched in my mind,
forevermore.
