I can't remember the last time I've known such anticipation
I had forgotten what innocence looked like
Felt like
Urging the agitated cells in my being to settle
To be patient, to resist the burning ache
The intrusive impulses
To push too fast
To hide my heart behind my body
To self-destruct

To be patient, to resist the burning ache
The intrusive impulses
To push too fast
To hide my heart behind my body
To self-destruct
A sweet and gentle first kiss, something I'm no longer used to
