Fourteen Years MAG
May 20, 2009
Fourteen years I waited.
Taunted by the promise in prose,
Teased by the moving pictures …
Two years later,
I'm still waiting.
I never had that moment:
The sudden amnesia of self and surroundings,
The hoard of butterflies bombarding my stomach.
No fireworks, no music, not even pristine silence.
I'm still waiting
For that perfect moment
When his lips first touch mine.

It was kind of hard to portray this but what i meant by the fourteen years is that i was kissed for the first time when i was 14, but it wasn't that blissful first kiss rumored in movies and books. That was the kiss I was hoping for. I wrote the poem two years later, thinking that i still hadn't had one of those heart-stopping kisses. Although now i can certainly say that I have ^_^ I appreciate the comment though.

This is really cute..I haven't had my 'perfect moment' either...Then again, I don't have a boyfriend or a crush...Someday I hope to have my 'perfect moment,' though...
Good job. Keep writing. You have talent.
