I'm not particularly a fan of Valentine's Day but perhaps this poem will help warm, romantic feelings linger just a little while longer.

First Kiss

 

 

The first time

I kissed you

When really

You kissed me instead

Everything around me

Stopped and stood

Perfectly still

While your lips

Parted mine

And my whole body

Grew so tense

But my head so light

That I thought I’d float away

If I even dared

To breathe
