i hate how
people romanticise everything
these days
i remember the books
would tell
how you get butterflies
but that's a lie
i never got
butterflies when i kissed you
what i got were birds
eating me away
what i got were perhaps rodents
scratching my insides away
i hate to create humour
at such a beautiful time
but i was sure
you'd laugh when you'd hear it
it's been a couple hours since
and i still can't fathom
how i had my first kiss today
i remember how
you took my hand
when we pulled away
you never told me
if you'd like to have that nickname
you said
i giggled yet again
i'd love to be called yours
i could manage to say
you kissed the back of my hand
a thing that
was romantic yet again
i wish i wasn't this nervous
but i wasn't the only one
you didn't let go of my hand
that day
whether when it was us
walking to your home
to retrieve my belongings
or when you were walking me
back to my place
it was as if
our hands
didn't fancy being separated
i am not used to
goodbye kisses
but you still gave me one anyway
before we departed

and even till this moment
my cheeks haven't
stopped getting heated.
