Our Magical First Kiss Under the Stars

Dear Anonymous, I still get butterflies in my stomach thinking about that enchanting night - our first boat date, under the radiant moon and starry sky. Everything was so surreal, like something out of one of my favorite fairy tales. As we left the shore behind, I could feel my heart racing with excitement and a touch of nervousness. My beloved looked so dashing in his blue jeans, crisp white shirt, black vest, and blue tie. He rowed with such ease, his muscles flexing slightly under his clothes as he pulled the oars through the water. The gentle lapping of the waves against the boat’s hull was almost soothing enough to calm my jitters.

I remember glancing down at myself, making sure I hadn’t mussed up my appearance too much during all this excitement. Mother had helped me braid my hair into intricate princess braids adorned with those beautiful silver hair pieces she’d gifted me for special occasions. My black blouse fit perfectly with a modest cut neckline and paired elegantly with that long blue skirt I’d chosen specifically to complement his outfit. But no matter how hard I tried to focus on our conversation or the stunning scenery around us - the way moonlight danced across ripples on the water or how stars shone brightly enough to be seen despite it - I couldn’t shake off feeling like there was something more hanging in the air between us.

And then it happened - that magical moment when time stood still and everything else melted away except for him and me floating on that little wooden boat in the middle of a river under an endless night sky full of twinkling stars! After what felt like both an eternity and just an instant, he reached out gently to cup my face in his hands…and leaned in towards me ever so slowly until our lips met in a kiss that was so soft yet spoke volumes without words needing to be spoken! It wasn’t just any kiss; it was MY FIRST KISS EVER - tender but filled with promise, making butterflies dance wildly within me while simultaneously anchoring deep into my very soul!
