4 of 6: Last Kiss

When you find the right one after kissing all the wrong

You revel in knowing this is your final destination

It’ll be months before you’ll know it again

Curves, tenderness, taste buds, electricity

The missing mixture

And you lick your lips everyday pretending to feel another’s

Humbly awaiting when the cobwebs of distance will be wiped away

And your lips will find mine again, at last
