First Kiss

As they were spinning the bottle I sat in a corner so shy wouldn’t join in,  just watched from the corner of my eye.

Another game was starting I refused to join in they were giving out numbers , but I held out to the end.

He was in the room with lights turned down low they called out a number  and said I should go.

“I didn’t take a number” I said quite firm ‘He gave you this one’ Oh! what I was about to learn.

My pulse was pounding so hard in my head it took some nudging, as to the room I was led.

 In the shadows he was waiting  to give me my first kiss I’ve never forgotten, it was sheer bliss.

Around my shoulder, his arm he placed I could feel his hand, touching my face.

I heard him whisper, “this is what you’ve been missing”
