Before that moment
I had thought I'd kissed before
but balanced on the edge
my knees went weak
you smiling as you caught me
made me feel no less a man
for I know lesser men,
they have no heart for this
is it strange that when I first kissed your cheek
I felt a rush that washed my thoughts away
that holding hands still makes my heart beat faster
our kisses lead and trail now
a cascade in different shapes and timbres
but still I'll stand upon the edge
looking down into your smiling eyes
knowing that I've fallen, and you caught me
