When We Kiss

When we kiss I can hear your thoughts � so I would rather we didn�t.

We have been together for nine years.

Ups and downs, tears and laughter.  

For too many years, I have carried on.

It is now time for me to move on.

 

You ask me for a kiss and I made a mistake. 

Because when we kiss, I can hear your thoughts.

I love you, please don’t leave me. 

I need you to survive, without you I will die.

 

So as I push you away, I shake my head.

I need to remove your words from my mind.

“One more kiss please, before you leave me.

For old times sake, just a kiss to say goodbye.”

 

I don’t want to hear your thoughts.

They hurt so I would rather we didn’t.

Its too late for us now, time has changed.

Life will never be the same, no more kisses.

 

Goodbye.

I really like the way you show in this poem that a kiss is so much more than simply that. Kisses can be the eyes that see into feelings - and sometimes those are feeling we don't want to see. Very nice job! :). God bless.
