I had reconciled myself to the fact that I'd never know what it was like to kiss you. I would know your fears, your hopes, your secrets, and that special glint you get in your eyes - but never what your lips felt like against mine. That, I figured, would be the prize of some other faceless girl. 

And then you surprised me. 

And now I know. 

Regardless of what happens after this, regardless of where we end up, I can claim that knowledge as well. Thank you.
