To The Girl Whose Name I’ve Forgotten

by Mike Loftis

Were it but a simple kiss
I would not recall it now
but there was magic in your lips
that touched my heart somehow
I held you in my arms that night
and reveled in your touch
Never had I longed to kiss
another near so much
After all these many years
through loves I’ve known and lost
no other’s kiss has stirred me so
like a ship in tempest tossed
Alas but our shared moment
too quickly came and passed
for through cruel circumstance
our first kiss was our last
So now in quiet moments
when I’ve a chance to reminisce
I let my mind take me back to
the night we shared a kiss

Welcome back Mike! Well, I dont remember the poem but yes, I do know the feelings. The sentiments behind these very lines.

Remembering one out of a crowd is very hard to do. ~(8^D)=(.....Charlie

I have a little treasure box in my mind where these moments are stored, and I take them out in my dreams. This was lovely, and wonderful to think that someone, somewhere may have me in a box of their own.
