The Parting

THE PARTING By Mesarthim

I kissed you first
For luck, I said.
And luck was ours that day.

I brushed your cheek
A second time
Then quickly looked away.

Next, I kissed for spite
To prove
That I was not afraid.
But oh, the love.
In that sweet kiss
The difference it made!

That one kiss
Given thoughtlessly
Put longing in your eyes
And pain...
I never wished you pain!
Now I'm the one who cries.

Why did it have to come to this?
Did you know, from the start?
Your kiss,
Your one, sweet, kiss goodbye
Would finally break my heart.
