The first time I kissed you
My head spun.
It kept spinning all night.
I've never had to be careful about someone
Like this
But when you kiss me
I need to remind myself that
Breathing
Is a thing.
I'm serious.
I am getting better at remembering
That you are not all there is
But there is still this one moment
When you first lean in
And I
See stars
And I realize
I have lost my sense of everything except you
Including me.
And I pull myself back a little,
Not because I care what happens to me
Not really
But because I want to keep kissing you
And to do that
It's possible I'll need air.
