Touch and Go

Our romance was but touch and go since first time I ever did see your face. I’m sure mine was aglow. Some magic spell you cast on me! Days later I went out with you. Our romance was but touch and go. Nobody that I ever knew had shown me the things you could show. Your kisses were so sweet and slow - down my neck; all over my face! Our romance was but touch and go. I shone within from your embrace. One night then it all had to end. You needed to leave. Even though you live on in poems I’ve penned, our romance was but touch and go! April 7, 2021 For Edward Ibeh's This Or That, Vol 1 Poetry Contest Touch and Go- Title chosen

Magic can have that effect for often it is short lived.

Love the Title and how you wrote this so well, the mystical experience of that first touch followed by the sadness of it floating away.

It's good to have memorable moments, as well as to be reminded of them, Great write, Andrea, have a wonderful evening.

Nicely done Andrea. It's nice to have sweet memories and sometimes you have to crank the old car a few times before she starts. In other words you kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince. Good write. God Bless, JB

Ahh!! It seems sad it was only a temporary time. They say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
