Lasting Kiss

Every woman
is stealthily compared
to the memory
of your best kiss -
a teenage bliss.

You yearn for that fusion
of lust and innocence
that doesn’t seem to exist
in the full-grown world.

Disappointment tugs,
crosses
from your mind
into your new lover’s lips.

Sensing your reticence
will make her crazy.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Corinne, this is sooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I am 18 and still haven't had my first kiss, I long to share it so much with my drea girl Joanna! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, such nostalgia and wonder fills these feelings, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Reminds me of my first kiss that age.We were in the parking lot at a jr.high dance and she shyly looked up at me and said you might as well kiss me.I'm going to tell my mama you did any way.

Thanks, Noah! Well, I'd say you are due!!! Thanks for always being so kind and encouraging.

Paladin - you should put that line in a poem, it would be great!
