That next first kiss

She must know,
He told himself, 
knowing 
that all is unveiled in dreams
unrecovered.

How can this be,
he wondered, 
as once again chills
enveloped his soul.

No, I can't, 
He told himself,
knowing
that words always shatter dreams
unrecovered.

So does she,
she replied,
I've known you 
forever.

I can?
He asked,
frightened 
of that moment 
un-recovered.

Oh my,
she gently replied,
and gave him that next
first
kiss.
