Kiss

And when you kissed my young lips it felt great

It was right

Was

And we kept going and thinking it was the best thing that had ever happened

Was

We made plans for the future, spoke about our lives together

And then it happened

It all happened

The questions

The doubt

The hardship

The loss.

 

And then when you came along

It all happened

The questions

The loss.

The questions of how I couldn’t see the imperfections before

The loss of concern that the right person was in the world for me

And when we kiss

I actually feel It.

It embraces me

Covers me

Fills me

Holds me.

It shakes me and pulls me in and has woken me up.
