For years, you imagine it.
For years, you pretended it.
Yes, that first kiss.

And when it happen.
For hours, you think of it.
For hours, you speak about it.
Even tell a few too.
Yes, that first kiss.

You describe the feeling you went though.
You talk about the moment you first got nervous.
Just the tender touch of your lips meeting.
Had your heart rapidly beating.
As if you was going to pass out.
Yes, that first kiss.

Somethings you just don't forget.
Even those with Alzheimer's remember certain events.
Not all of these folks forget.
Just like us, many can recall that first kiss.

Love, admiration or just infatuation has led to that first kiss.
Who know?
Maybe a little bit more?
That's another story.

I get the impression
we all fear rejection
yet long for protection
against our recession
so here's my suggestion
let's make a connection
stop hiding affection
behind hidden expression

People always say
just forget and move on
how do you forget love?
can people not see that
love can not be forgotten?
All my memories of you
linger like a morning fog
in my summer mind

The way your hand trailed
along my bare fragile ribs
your smile as you
were about to kiss my
flushed rose lips
my head resting on your chest
the music of your tired lungs
your singing heart

Why do we act like strangers
after all the memories we have?
I cant burn memories like
I can burn pictures
I can not forget love
I can only forget why
why I made the effort to
love
in the first place

There are places
on my skin that
have been carved out
or in
I can't remember
getting all of them
so I am sure to
remind these forgotten marks
they will always
mean something to me
even if I wear a few
more proudly
than the
rest
