My heart keeps missing beats when I see her

She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before.

And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize i have been starving.
I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.
I have kissed before but it didn't burn me alive.
Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All i know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if i did not knew it until now, i have been waiting for this person forever.
