The first kiss with someone other than your ex,
Will be like the pages of a new book.
It’ll be something untouched by the hands that used to touch you.
It’ll be page after page of a story that’s still being written.

The first kiss after a breakup will bring the hoard of butterflies back to your body.
It’ll ignite the engine in your heart that’s been suffocating from lack of attention.
It’ll reawaken the excitement and lust you’ve been missing.

But, that first kiss might find itself blowing out the candle in your newly beating heart.
It might crawl through your neurons, up your spine, and into your brain
So that it can open up the memories you tried so hard to close away.

That first kiss might scream at you,
YOU’RE NOT READY TO BE LOVED AGAIN,
Even as it’s pushing your body for a second touch of another's lips.
