In Love

He stroked his fingers through my hair. The tension between us is rising. He and Iboth know it’s coming. I lean my head towards him, and he does the same. Our lipsconnect like magnets. The perfect kiss.After about 8 seconds, I slowly pulled my face away from his face and put it so thatmy nose would relate to his nose. He looks at me eagerly and smiles.We stayed in that position for about 5 minutes. Just by that kiss, we know moreabout each other than we could ever know. We were saving it for when we knew wewere truly right for each other.NORMA IRIS PAGAN MORALES IN LOVENorma Iris Pagan Morales was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
