Kiss

You know in truly great romantic movies when the two leads finally come together for their first on-screen kiss? Their eyes close, their heads tilt ever so slightly, and there's this seemingly interminable period of time where they slowly inch in to each other. Their lips part, and we witness that first awkward and beautiful moment where you try to feel out who you're kissing. To see what kind of kisser they are, how into you they are. We get to see that barely noticeable expression of extreme joy and ultimate contentedness. And then, they finally start to kiss. Soft at first and growing, but never too hard. And the best part, she'll place her hand on his cheek, possibly run her fingers through his hair, and he'll gently lift her chin with his fingertips. Or maybe they're on the same level, so he'll place his hand on the back of her neck, his fingers playfully diving into the mess of her hair, and she'll place her hand, much as he did before, right under his chin, pulling him softly into her.
