one kiss past the bridge
one kiss past the bridge
two pair of lips
meeting for the first time
footprints leading
towards the next dawn

my hand traces the contour of your cheek
as thoughts of lust course through my veins
and questions of love enter into my heart

returned feelings
bridal fears
but the comfort of your arms
eases those

all beginning
one kiss past the bridge
