Once there was an old man
He had great fortune
Everything was handed to him
No matter what
He always got what he wanted
But he also had nothing

65 years to life
He lived alone
In the many homes he owned across the world
Married four times
And Luckily had one daughter
Unfortunately she hated him

65 years to life
He had cancer
He was dyeing
and was dyeing alone
He said "Its better dyeing alone. That way its quiet. That way you don't have to watch your loved ones watch you die. That is if you have loved ones."

With only weeks left to live
He told his nurse he wanted one thing before he left
He wanted to kiss the most beautiful girl in the world
His nurse only gawked at him
and asked "How do you plan on doing that?"
He didn't know, but he believed he would

Days left to live
He decides he wants to see his daughter one last time
Hoping and praying for the first time
That she'll see him

A door bell
sitting.. waiting
for him to ring
He reached slowly
Counts to three and then rings it
A girl of sun golden hair approaches
Right before she shuts the door without a word
A child of 5 years to life comes running in
She smiles up at him
He says nothing
and then kneels down and kisses her cheek as she hugs him
In that moment
He was infinite
In that moment
He was loved
In that moment
He wasn't alone
In that moment
He wasn't dyeing
In that moment
He was *The man who kissed the most beautiful girl in the world.
