Kiss Me One More Time

A Poem about Growing up and changing attitudes. . .

Kiss me one more time

When I was young I heard this phrase

From ugly aunts and nice ladies

It felt so gross and made me sick

To have their wet lips touch my cheek

Kiss me one more time

I never heard it as a teen

Not even when others were seen

With lips locked almost everywhere.

I told myself I didn't care/

Kiss me one more time

She said it over an hour ago.

As we hold each other so,

I never want to leave this place

As long as I am near her face
