Kissing 23
He wanders;
He fades in and out
of my life...
Never to be seen again.
He tells me things
that make me proud
of sad times...
The worst of times
sometimes
brought out the best in me.
The first and only one to respect;
to play safe;
to kiss magically at his first concert.
And I do want him to be happy now
and go live happily ever after
with whomever he chooses...
I just want to see him first.
I just want to kiss him again.
I want the magic back.
I want the kissing 16 feeling
while reuniting, matured and chastened.
An acknowledgement of all that came before
and that we survived it.
A kiss goodbye perhaps.
I want to be kissing 23.
