It all started with a kiss under the hanging branches of mistletoe your parents hung up each year in their lounge as the clock struck the new year our lips met only for a minute but it felt like longer I never felt more alive than at that moment
We started seeing each other regularly every date we went somewhere new my almost perfect dinner companion I'd spend most of the meal looking into your eyes and seeing the love reflected in them
After a few months I gave you a ring and promised my future to you I remember seeing you smile despite the tears as you accepted my proposal
a wonderful wedding we celebrated under the light of a full moon I still can see you crying with joy as you tossed the blue bouquet to your sister
We're still going strong a year later our first born will be due any day I don't even know if it's a girl or boy I've asked you not to tell me as in some ways I'm hoping for twins
When people ask us how we first met I smile in happy memory of that first night we look them in the eyes and reply "it all started with a kiss"
