Down the back alley on the cold winter evenings your eyes stared only at me I didn't smoke as my father gave up yet i didn't dare disagree you parted your lips you drew in a breath and your body relaxed in turn exhaling slowly, you grin and you show me how much your body did yearn for the taste of a cigarette the embers and ashes matches and lighters, causing flickering flashes you said I didn't have to but I said I didn't mind that the smoke in your mouth would soon be in mine I did not draw back my mouth- under attack I just had to last the duration because I didn't smoke the taste scorched my throat and gave off a burning sensation It must have felt different as just in an insant You stub out the cigarette with a hiss silently relieved and now more at ease oh, the things that you do for a kiss
