When Last We Kissed

when first we kissed
greetings of passionate heat
inseparable and breathless
rushing and needing
longing fulfilled
i knew what you meant to me
when first we kissed

when we last kissed
lovefilled sorrow was its cry
clinging and disparing
lingering yet brief
parting too soon
how could i leave you
when we last kissed

when next we kiss
aching desire of flames
firing the wanton
exploding and bright
lasting an eternity
holding you closer to my heart
when next we kiss.
