Magic Kiss

Magic Kiss

Remember the magic
Of true love’s first kiss?
Remember the feeling
Of innocent bliss?

Your fingertips tingle;
Your cheeks start to blush;
Your heartbeat’s aflutter;
You feel your blood rush.

And after he leaves you
You’re walking on air.
You take a breath deeply,
“It’s love!” you declare.

You can’t eat at mealtime;
You can’t sleep at night;
Your mother is worried
If you feel all right.

It’s been many years now
Since I felt that joy.
Effects of the kisses
Of one teenage boy.

But I do remember
And it makes me smile.
That magic kiss lets me
Feel young for a while.
