And So It Begins

Well, it is official. Mel and I are finally a couple. Now it is true that in the last couple of weeks we have taken steps forward in our relationship. We've broken the ice as to how we feel about each other. We've discussed the issue about "K" and realized that it doesn't change anything, and neither of us will let it stand in our way. We even had a several "real" dates. But although the last few weeks saw us dating, it wasn't till yesterday that we became a couple, at least in my mind. Last night was the first time I kissed her.



To me at least, that first kiss is the beginning of our relationship. There is so much one can tell by it, and that kiss confirmed in my mind that this is the right thing. When most people think of a first kiss, they envision fireworks, mad passion. Frankly that is what I was expecting, but it wasn't what happened. When I kissed her, there was no fireworks. Rather it was a feeling I never anticipated, it was comfortable, like these were the lips I should have been kissing my entire life. I knew then that we made the right choice, in fact I actually regret not doing it earlier on.



Despite that, we did talk about it earlier today. Given our unique situation, I figured that we need to take things slow for the next little bit. I'm glad that we discussed this early on, because it is something that will come up sooner or later. We decided that this is about as intimate as we are going to get for a while. Sex just complicates things, and that is the last thing we want. The time will come when we will move on to that, but now it is more important that we begin our relationship by building a strong foundation. I've messed up a lot of things in my life, but this is one thing I need to get right.
