Kiss me as if the moon and the stars
Depended on this moment.
Kiss me as if every hour we spent here,
Was an hour added to something,
Kiss me as if this touch
Meant we could never part.
Kiss me as if the stars had aligned on us
And we were their sole purpose.
I ask this of you because I know time.
I have seen time with these two eyes,
I have felt it on this skin.
These two hands have grown with time,
Hardened with time,
Aged with time
This body is limited.
This life I live is limited.
Every resource, every breath I drew
From now until the sun collapses in,
Is limited to what we make it.
We are limited to what we make ourselves
So kiss me as if we were gods.
Kiss me as if the skies were under our command;
I will tell the sun when to rise
And you will tell the stars when to fall.
Kiss me as if everything we did had a purpose.
Kiss me as if we have a purpose now.
I ask this of you because I know time,
Time, to us, is incomprehensible.
It is something our fingers cannot clutch,
It is something our minds cannot wholly rationalize
I know that time will take me.
I do not know where.
So kiss me as if we were raising our middle fingers to time
Because for the moment, this is time.
My hands on your shoulders,
Yours on my back.
Body heat despite the weather or in tune with it;
We are gods in our own space,
So kiss me as if every space was our space.
I know that someday the winds may change
Someday I may not remember your face
Your eyes may have been blue, they may not
Someday I may have forgotten the way you spell your name
But for this moment, for this one, tiny moment
Time is ours.
So kiss me as if we were time,
Because every moment I spend with you
Is time I think is well spent.
Ha, the girl who's never been kissed writing a poem about kissing. GG, life.

this is amazing and if you never been kissed that's kinda shocking because you descried how i feel every time i kiss my boyfriend it's surprising because your whole poem is how i feel every time i'm with him even though it's not my exact thought but thinking back on it now slowing down time it's exactly what i was thinking at the bottom of my mind. Well done!! ThowUp Rainbows so good it's making me throw up rainbows!!
