THEIR FIRST KISS

He remembers everything about their first kiss
It’s a feeling that never goes away…
He remembers their first kiss…as if it happened yesterday…

And after all these years he still kisses her the same…
before each kiss he holds his breath 
and with a smile…shuts his eyes…
and here's the reason why…

He closes his eyes when he sleeps…
to allow his dreams to come through…
and he closes his eyes when he kisses her…
because each kiss another dream come true.

He held his breath before their first kiss…
which he still does today….
because every time she kisses him…
she takes his breath away.

He understands how lucky he’s been…
that together in life they’ve been immersed
and he knows if there ever is a last kiss between them
it will be as beautiful
as exciting
and as beautiful 
as the first.
