First of many moments in love I have spent with you.
The firsts I’ve experienced in all my 40 years.
All these new moments I never knew I missed,
never knew I needed or wanted until our very first kiss.
That’s when it all started, and I finally felt seen.
Like you knew what I needed, wanted, and everything in between.
You putting on my jacket that evening it was cold.
This seriously just happened to me when I was 40 years old.
The way you hold my body so close and tight to yours,
When you pushed against me on the car door.
The way you hold my head and deeply kiss me cradling it with care.
The way you let me know it’s alright, you are there.
The way you call me sweetheart and ask if I’m okay.
The way you check on me throughout the day.
The way you nuzzle your face against my cheek.
This feeling is so special so close that I feel weak.
The way you take your finger and rub my soft spots on my face.
This makes my heart beat faster, almost as if I ran a race.
Sitting with you at breakfast on our first official date.
When you reached across the table and our hands met in between.
Holding hands across the table, I’ve never done such a thing.
There are so many first moments I’ve had with you.
I can’t imagine all the more first moments of love that are still to come.
Man, when I’m with you, Ray, you make me feel so loved.
