The First Kiss

The First Kiss



Were you the first to kiss,
or was it I?
The first to notice me, 
or one that caught my eye.

The one to touch my heart 
and then my arm
Were you intrigued?
Were you alarmed?

Were you the one who   
looked at my soul and knew.
Or was it I 
that saw the same in you.

Were you the one charmed,
swept off your feet.
Or was it me, with your eyes of desire
and that chocolate oh so sweet.

Was it you that dreamed 
of the times we would share.
Or was it I, who saw a woman 
of grace, beauty, and flair.

Was it you that made me 
laugh and cry at first.
Or was it I, who caused 
you're best, your worst.

Was it you that decided 
life with me would be well spent.
Or was it me, that thought
from God you were sent.

Were you the one who thought
of being my closest friend.
Or was it I who knew 
that we would be together in the end.

I guess after all, 
it doesn't matter.
Who was the former, 
who was the latter.

What's important is we took a chance.
It looks like we didn't miss.
But I think that you really
were the first one to kiss.
