the longest kiss

that first kiss
still lingers with me

that magic number
between three and seven and a half
that defines
you
and me

from countless hours
to days
to weeks
to months
and probably for years to come

those stolen kisses
will always be there
your first
and mine

and though you said
'thank goodness i'll only know you for a short time
or i'd be in love with you'
we both found out
that falling in love
took no time at all

but the kiss
the first magical one
took forever
