After seeing everyone do it,

I finally gathered the courage

to ask what it was like.

I was told there were stages;

that first you dreamt about it –

the feel and taste of it,

and who you'd share it with –

and you began to anticipate

and to know it'd be amazing

and then you plan it.

"It will happen like this."

And then you wait…

And when you've waited so long you don't care,

it happens.

I asked if this was true.

"So you wait forever

just for it to happen

and when it does,

it's nothing like you expected."

"Yes, but amazing

none the less"

is exactly what they said –

the two of them ;)
