When You Kissed Her

Did you taste me when you kissed her?
I was there long before you,
deeply 
imbedded 
in 
her 
love
a 
tulip 
licking 
manic 
bug...
but our time together is long past.
We 
were 
a 
meteor 
shower
a 
spring 
river
lightning 
flash.

Decades have passed.
I see your love for her is of the planet type.
Large and steady, an abundance of gravitational stability, 
A Planet with many moons.


Still, I ask
did you taste me when you kissed her?
