There you see
her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But
there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're
dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl.
I finally had her. The key to the Avatar. Funny thing was, my quest wasn't for the Avatar anymore. It was for my own father and sister. As my uncle and I made camp that night, I glanced over at the Waterbender. She was making dinner and something struck me. She didn't say much to me. Really, what was there to say? My people had killed her mother and had taken her father away from her to the war. It must have come as a shock for me to attack her, and then have a change of heart and join her cause. It shocked me, come to that. But as I watched my own beautiful element bath her in a golden light, I felt something tug. At first, I ignored it. But suddenly, as a smile quirked this lovely, full lips of hers as the Airbender said something to make her laugh, it hit me. I wanted to kiss those lips. I wanted to kiss them more then I'd ever wanted anything in my entire life.
Yes, you want
her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you
too
There's one way to ask her
It don't take a word, not a
single word
Go on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl).
The next few days were
incredibly awkward. If I accidentally touched her, I'd have to pull
my hand back quick before I wrapped it around her waist and pulled
her to my lips. I'd see the strange, almost hurt expression in her
eyes and that stabbed me like daggers. But I was certain she didn't
like me, barely trusted me. It became increasingly harder to look at
her. And we sure as hell couldn't stay in the same place alone.

My oh my
Looks like the boy's too
shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that
sad
it's such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl
go
on and kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
I thought the young Avatar had a thing for the Waterbender. And suddenly, I felt all the more desperate. I needed her for myself. I was so scared. So scared she'd be stolen away before I even got the chance to tell her how I feel. A rejection I could deal with. But never having a damn shot? I knew that would destroy me. Destroy me worse then any cold shoulder. Any icy glare.
Nows your
moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No
time will be better
She don't say a word
And she wont say a
word
Until you kiss the girl (kiss the girl)
Then one day I went to
take a bath in a nearby lake that I knew would be cold. Maybe it'd
clear my thoughts enough. But damned if she hadn't already beaten
me to it. Oblivious to my plight, she invited me down to bath with
her. It was basically swimming, actually. We would be covered. I
somehow convinced myself that everything would be ok. I could deal
with this. But Katara was playful in her element. We got in a water
fight. In those few moments, everything was ok. We were having fun,
just splashing each other. We even touched. She tickled me, but I was
stronger and got her back indefinitely. When I came back down to
earth was when I had her trapped against the bank and I was holding
her. I looked down at her and again, the insane desire spread through
me. She stopped talking. She stared up at me and I tried to speak.
She just looked at me. I bit my lip. Don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it, became my mantra. But as Katara refused to speak,
and she was holding onto my upper arms, I found myself paralyzed. My
only thought was the need to kiss, the inner self that told me not
to. Shalalalala
My oh my

Too bad, you're gonna miss the girl.
I didn't want to look
her in the eye. I knew it'd be a bad idea. I tried to focus
anywhere but her beautiful, crystal blue gaze. I memorized her face
doing that. Her darker skin that marked her as a powerful Water Tribe
native. Her lovely, thick, black-brown hair fell in curly tresses
around her shoulders. The way her nose gently sloped, the strength in
her jaw hidden by such a pretty face. Her high cheekbones. I knew
someone had to have already noticed that. How long did I have before
she was inevitably taken by someone? She was going to get swept off
her feet by a dashing young man and she'd be lost to me
forever. Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be
prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
Don't stop
now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Go on
and kiss the girl
I knew at that instant what Jin said was true. I couldn't deal with missing Katara. And so, without a second's hesitation, I bent my head and kissed the girl. You know what the best part was?
She kissed me back without a second's hesitation.
