Our First Kiss

I wrote this in March 2007, over 2 years before Jenny found out that she had Cancer:
When I first met Jenny,
She seemed so nice to me.
She would laugh and her cheeks would swell.
I really liked her from the start.
More each time we met.
-------------
We got close,
On a few occassions,
In her room.
Brushing against each other now and then.
Did she mean to do that?
Did I mean to?
Was she feeling what I was starting to feel?
---------------
One night we returned in the car,
She sat behind me but did not get out straight away.
I felt a mutual connection and turned to her.
She lent forward between the seats to talk.
We talked with our faces inches apart.
Shall I try to kiss her?
What if she refuses?
We’re getting on really well as mates.
I don’t want to ruin it.
Is she thinking the same?
-------------
We kissed.
Did I start it?
Did she start it?
It just happened.
Why?
I don’t know.
I’m just glad it did.
