Just One Kiss
(That’s all it takes)
From a pessimist
like you
to tear me in two.

Yet I still lean in,
Close my eyes
Just one more time
I’ll be fine,
Or so I thought.

I was taught
That moderation
And imagination
Are two powerful tools;
No rules,

Just a lifestyle
That makes me smile.
Can’t you see?
Or are you too full of jealousy
To realize I’m forever yours.

Of course,
That’s what happens
When you kiss
A pessimist.
