Wait For It

 

I froze.

You kissed my cheek daringly.

I sheepishly went for the crevice

between your lips and missed.

Then we both paused

and just let it happen again.

New Adventures

 

Tickled by raindrops plopping across our bodies
faster than we could run.
Remember that one time we got
stuck in the storm
and couldn't find an overhead?

It's okay to be drenched, I thought.
Eventually, we smiled and just walked
in the down pour,
taking the evening as it was.

Often, a late night would take us to
the gelato shop in Downtown Berkeley.
I used to go there for lattes 
before my night class-
That was when I just started
drinking coffee.
