First Touch

Do you remember the first time you were touched by your first boyfriend/girlfriend?  Those innocent touches that made you feel odd inside and your heart skip a beat...shared smiles because he/she was going through the same thing.

i remember mine - there are two actually that stand out very clearly in my mind. i was 14 yrs old and he was 15. (good grief that's young)  The very first touch was, looking back, a very mature, tender one.  We were talking -  standing close without touching -  and he reached up and traced the side of my face and jaw line.  Let me tell you, i almost fainted.  my young heart responded to that gentle touch - the look on his face -  and i have never felt as beautiful as i did that very minute.

The second one was a bit different, but no less powerful.  We were sitting in church, in the back pew (of course!), he was on my right.  my leg was crossed at the knee and he extended his leg toward mine, pinning it against the back of the pew in front of us.  Leg pressing leg, we sat (i have NO idea what was said in church!!)  And he didn't let it go until after the service was over. 

First Touch.  Sweet.  Innocent.  Powerful.  ::sigh::

Lyrics :

Baby, the clock on the wall is lying
It's not really that late
It's too cold outside to bewalking around the streets of this town
Anywhere if you think you have to be can wait

Why don't you stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah

Baby, there is just no use in hiding
The way that I am feeling right now
With you standing there baby I swear I can't help but stare
Girl you're wearing me out, wearing me out

Baby, stay with me share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
We'll be alright as long as you stay with me

Baby don't go it looks like it's starting to rain
And it's so warm here in this apartment wrapped up in this blanket
So stay

Stay with me
Share all your secrets tonight
We can make believe the morning sun never will rise
Come and lay your head on this big brass bed
And we'll be alright as long as you stay
I'll be alright as long as you stay with me, yeah

Stay with me
