i still remember the first time we kissed. her friends orbiting the block like some long lost moon or satellite in the lowest of orbits, looking for parking. we stood in her apartment, face to face i was totally lost in her eyes, terrified, wondering if it was the right thing to do.

i remember wishing we hadn't made plans to go out, that evening. i just wanted to look into her face for the rest of my life...
