For the First Time

Kiss me as if for the first time
Kiss me as if we don't entwine every night
Kiss me as if I am to you a stranger,
Longed for on the quiet,
Kiss me like you tried that night
years back,
Both my wrists held above my head
in your right hand,
Your left exploring other parts of me
Your mouth seeking mine
Kiss me as if we are in that moment again
Before a paper made me yours
Kiss me like that tonight
And I will not move my face away
For I have learned much since then.
