*Another excerpt*

I don't believe you can wake up and suddenly be gay. But I do believe you can wake and realize that you cannot spend the rest of your life without a certain individual.

She is taller than I am, so I have come up on my toes. I put my hands on her shoulders. Its not like kissing a man. Its softer, more intuitive. More equal. 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 I realize I have been starving. I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this. I have been 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 didn't know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.
