First Kiss
This Monday morning in the beginning of August,
You awakened twenty years older
Than you were just yesterday.
How to explain this radical fast-forward lapse?
Could it be attributable to an abrupt rupture —
Your agonizing decision to impose total cessation
On the relationship you and your companion,
Supposed soul mate of two decades, maintained,
Despite its inexorable desiccation of emotions?
How to reclaim those twenty years, rewind time,
To that moment prior to your commitment,
Call it quits before consummating your first kiss?
