It all started with a kiss
On an unwashed head
Small and wet, rosy and impressionable
I’ve kissed you a thousand times over
And a thousand times more
Never kissing the same sentiment twice
Growth with each second, every minute
Deepening and widening
A universal declaration
All with just a kiss
Mother kisses baby
Baby kisses mommy
And a light is lit
Illuminating a silhouette within the blush
Reaffirming a greater knowing
In a gesture so simple, so profound
A sentiment of the purest nature
And it all started with a kiss
As he held my face in his hands
