FIRST HUG
by Niharika Jajoria
We stood side by side,
Our shoulders intimately brushing
I couldn’t manage to hide
That I was faintly blushing.
You took my breath away,
The way you looked at me that night
I never could hope to portray
But I know it felt so right.
Your lips were turned upward,
The smile destroyed all of my resolve
I felt my body shudder
When you took me in your arms.
However long we stood there
In a tight embrace
I could not ask for better
I do not feel ashamed.
Slowly we parted
I was disappointed slightly
You took my heart away
When you smiled so brightly.
Blissfully unaware
Of the passing pedestrians
I didn’t really care
You bring out the best in me.
