I had my first kiss yesterday T-T

I've been in a relationship with this absolute angel of a girl for almost two years now and after two LONG years of waiting, we finally kissed. She called me over to hand me the letters she wrote for my birthday (which is tomorrow but we couldn't meet then). I bought ice cream for both of us and somehow it turned into this adorably cute little date.

Let me tell you, it DID NOT go down as shown in movies or cheesy romance novels. We were bantering about how both of us were so chickened out to make the first move. The buildup? It was so embarrassing, awkward and silly that it made the whole thing even more precious. We laughed about how tragically we fumbled our first kiss.

After the giggles, we hugged like we're each other's whole world and before we knew it we were kissing again... and again... and again. It was nowhere near perfect but it was ours. Intimate and messy in the best possible way. The moment felt like it belonged to just us. We were tangled up like the notes of a weird chord that no one else could hear. The sound of her thumping heart was the only song I wanted to hear, a rhythm that drowned out the rest of the world and brought me peace that I'd never experienced before.

I'm so grateful to have her and it makes me want to be a better person. I'm looking forward to the future that awaits us :)
