First Love Rekindled

That first look

That first smile

The embrace so many years lost

The way it feels like no time has passed

The perfect fit of my frame in his arms

Arms I haven’t felt in so long

The stolen glances as we walk along

The familiarity of his face, his eyes, his smile, his voice

The flutter in my chest as we’re seated facing one another

I wonder if he feels my stare, whether he senses my nervousness at his closeness

I notice the way the light shines in his eyes as he watches me so attentively

A glass of wine for me, a beer for him and we begin to relax

The smiles never leave our faces but the conversation continues more easily

Then I put my hand on his arm, an action done thousands of times years ago, and there it is

That chemistry so powerfully charged it’s palpable

I wonder if those around us can feel what’s happening in such close proximity to them

He is feeling the same sensation, I can see it in those eyes that had such power over me in the past

I imagine what his mouth would taste like on mine, will it be the same

I wonder how his body would feel enveloping mine, this starts a physical reaction beyond control

I want to taste his lips and feel his hands on my body

As soon as we’re alone I am powerless against my attraction to him, my need for him, once again

Years melt away as our lips find their way back to the place they used to know so well

And I am that young girl again aching for his hands to navigate their way over my body

I want to feel his reaction to me, so I take him into my hands and it sends my body into overdrive

I have to feel him inside me, I have to know if we still fit perfectly together

Inside the constricted space of his car, I straddle him and he’s inside me

Every memory of him comes flooding back as we devour each other sexually and emotionally

His mouth and hands relearn every inch of my body as I slide up and down the length of him

Finally in ecstasy, I pull him deeper into me, throbbing around him and he explodes inside me

I collapse into his embrace, both of us sweating, hearts pounding, heads spinning

I can’t believe we ever let anything keep us apart for so long

But I had found my way back to this place, this man, I didn’t realize I missed so much

A place where, as a girl, I lost myself and now, as a woman, I found myself again

I would never let him go this time, with him is where I belonged

First Love is powerful, it’s impulsive, it’s insatiable, it’s unforgettable, and it never ends

In fact, no matter how much time passes, it can always begin again
