No Ordinary Kiss

I want to read these poems to you face to face one day
To look into your eyes while reading all I've had to say

I hope you have some time to spend, there's lots of words to read
It might take hours, it might take days, but for this drive I won't speed

The only thing I ask of you is a small kiss for each one
At present count there's hundreds, but these odes might not be done

What if there's a thousand? What if there are two?
Will you give me all those kisses still? I really hope you do

At this rate I may never stop but you don't have to keep
Your side of the bargain, or you might never sleep

So let's just say one hundred, I'm not greedy after all
Even one, if it's from you, would leave me thus enthralled
