The Importance of Kissing

I gently caress the keyboard while waiting for the chime The sound that lets me know that you replied I am eager to read your words of wisdom And lose myself in the darkest alleys of your mind

I am not sure if you see me as naïve Or if you think that I can’t conceive The importance of your statements I persist though, because I’m longing to know about your life’s ailments

On a windy night in spring, as the music makes emotions unable to control You give me the most important teaching of all You say that kissing is more intimate than sex I trust your judgment and agree, while waiting for what you’ll say next

Not much else was said, how could I be so unsophisticated A few months later, like a prophesy that dissipated Everything clicked and I finally understood what you meant But I was too late, the communication pathway died with him without lament

After all these years, I still wish I could tell you that I got it I’m curious to see if you would even remember telling me that Or if you have kept in your memories any of my teachings to you At least I hope you would be happy to know how far I got thanks to it, and thanks to you
