First Time

Crossing the bridge...

Zip opened, and together

we crossed the bridge for the first time!

...oh yes, for the first time.

Then, ...we got somewhat lost

here and there -for a few minutes, though-

to end-up back together on Ontario Rd.

I called for the date. I couldn't wait any longer.

Monday night, not the most “convenient” time.

Ran from work back home

to change into more appropriate clothes

I walked a block, almost…

and there he was

with his cute green dots.

Very tense at first

just the "normal thing"

We released the brake

…and then, we ran to the end

and tonight, together

we crossed the bridge

for the first time. ©Neida Perez
