Last Kiss

By Maria Sufia

If only I knew

That kiss was our last

I would've stopped time

That moves by so fast.

And held you close

Your head on my heart

And embraced God's made

Beautiful work of art

I would've mapped the freckles

That adorn your face

Like constellations in the sky

Wonderous, and full of grace

I would've traced your body

It's even and its odds

With every part of it

Built like the Greek Gods

Your dark brown hair

That I complained were too long

That harmoniously danced

When the wind played its song

I would've wanted to hear

You say my name

Just once last time

But it's such a shame

I would've held you a little longer

Gathered more things to reminisce

Oh, if only I knew

It was our last kiss.
