The first time I heard Can’t Take My Eyes off of You by Frankie Valli I was over at her place and we were making cookies. It came on over the radio and I felt myself overwhelmed with this new emotion I had never felt before. My stomach began feeling weird, but I wasn’t sick. My mouth was stuck in a smile. I was overwhelmed with joy to the point that I couldn’t think straight and I think that is why I made the first move. Without realizing it I had taken a couple of steps forward and leaned in with my cookie dough covered hands. I was scared that she wouldn’t do the same, but before my fear could take over our lips had touched. I felt a jolt of the chills fly through my spine and before I knew it what I had seen happen in my head for weeks before hand had come true. She was much more beautiful than me, but I guess she liked me. I don’t know what it is about me that attracted her because I have no special features, no major talents, no money, and I always feel like I’m awkward around her, but she likes me. As we kissed I gazed into her blue eyes that glowed in the low light of her kitchen like the sun setting on the ocean. I had never experienced these feelings of love before with anyone else. I had been in a few things close to relationships before, but I never really felt the connection between me and the other girl. All those relationships before then had been to just to prove to myself that I could love something, but I never did. Not until now. I finally understood all those goofy love songs that I had always sung along too. So many things in life were finally making sense. We separated our lips and stared into each others eyes. Both of us were trying not to laugh, but we couldn’t help it. My smile was stuck.

We washed our hands and walked over to her couch and laid down. She put her hand on my face and it tingled. I rubbed her back not knowing what else to do. I’m so bad in these situations. I always feel like I’m going to screw it up, but I don’t want to screw up this one. I think she could be the right person for me. The perfect match that I always thought didn’t exist. I couldn’t help thinking about how beautiful she was every time our lips met and parted. It was perfect. I never wanted this moment to end.
