First Kiss

First time I kissed you,

felt your warm embrace

lifted into the atmosphere, I

Felt my heart race

Soon,

You and I became good friends

Daily, we’d entwine

Make love

Transcend



How hard it was

When

I said goodbye

Once our tie was severed

So too went my mind

All that was

Served to trip me up



Leave me behind



But, our ties,

Even severed

Help me

To be more whole

Times being apart, now,

Allow for

Fondness

For the days of old



Sometimes

I see you

My heart skips a beat

Together,

I found

New places in the world

Without you

I notice

Life pierces my soul



As though I am a target

Love seems to be

A dart

One more time

I might approach you

And steal a kiss



To

Keep the memory

Of our bliss

Maybe I shouldn’t

It seems unwise

Apart we are better

My fondness for you

Could stand

To remain in my eyes
