Do you remember The first time you held somebody's hand Felt the way their skin pulsed against yours How your heart attempted to escape from your chest And your stomach became home to 10 million moths Flying into the light all at once Do you remember The nervous laughs And the smile that lay between pigmented cheeks Drawn from admiration And bliss How you never before found glow In a lantern not your own Do you remember The lips that first wiped you of your sanity How they brushed against yours with seemingly perfect unision Replayed over and over again Heart reminding brain Reminding body How good it felt to be loved To be touched If that could be bottled If any of the first time nostalgia and discovery Could be placed in a glass jar And preserved Than we would need no reminder Of how it felt to feel And how it felt to be Alive.
