The Unexpected Kiss


from the ABC set Poetry

You told me you were leaving,
You told me you were done,
You said that it was over,
That I was not the one.

I didn't let you see me cry,
I hid away instead,
I let the tears soak in my pillow,
In my very lonely bed.

You came to bed much later,
You thought I was asleep,
My glasses resting on my face,
My breathing slow and deep.

You gently sat down on the bed,
And took my glasses off,
Then leaned in very close to me,
and kissed me very soft.

I like this Lacey.
Simple but effective - it nicely captures the calm after the storm.
