I want to celebrate! No, more-- honor? Yes, but more than that-- re-create! Yes! the ineffable, even cosmic experience of that eyes-closed, every cell of you utterly focused on that first gentle, tender contact of your lips with theirs. It's as soft as the brush of a butterfly's wing, as wondrous as a meteor shower on a warm summer night, as the first step on a newly-discovered planet, becoming fireworks, hearing God sing your names, two galaxies merging seamlessly into one, a brass band playing, a rainbow born between you, a roller coaster in that weightless moment of free fall,when you feel newborn and infinite all at once.
