There is beauty in pain

have we ever talked about kissing
each other
the warm press of lips,
my hand on the back of your neck
one hand on the small of your back
holding you to me
or where our kissing would could should
lead
have we ever talked about our first kiss
yet to come
our first meeting face to face
do you run to me, fly into my arms
clinging to me like driftwood
for safety
for that first kiss, hand on your cheek
the back of your neck
holding you to me
not wanting to let go of you
but wanting to take your hand
and head for the shadows
next kiss and more
or our first meeting kiss
tentative two cheek continental
not knowing yet
how fast
how far
dancing a bit to figure out
our rhythms
our heart beats
the tentative release
fingers lingering not wanting to
let go
wondering if we will make it to
a second kiss
have we ever really talked about kissing
we should talk about it
because when we talk
i think about it
all the time
