kisses

a kiss on the cheek—
it’s the best thing received.
from a lover, a friend—
even grandmas,
indeed.

only better is one
that is given by fathers.
it’s not just a longing.
it’s more of a
need.

lips touched to cheek.
warmth upon warmth.
can you argue with this?
no, i’m sure we’ve
agreed.

{i wrote this because my hubby just gave me the nicest kiss on the cheek. whenever he does, it reminds me of my papa's kisses on the cheek—so full of affection and so telling of his love. i really miss those kisses. i really need them.}
