It's not that i didn't have hope for anything romantic between us, it's just that after two dates it felt as though we were still circling, and i am too old for circling. Circling used to be fun; it's not anymore.
But tonight, tonight when the conversation lulled and i took the opportunity to kiss you, it made sense to me. Your slight waist fit into my hand, and your lips were gentle and thoughtful. i hadn't felt that right kissing another woman since my marriage.
No matter what comes after, i will always remember that kiss, so different from the experience a year ago, in another car, when i ensured that my marriage would end. All of that regret, all of that questioning ceased momentarily as we enjoyed the art of lips and their silent conversation.
