My Longest Kiss Good Night

My want before
Youth slips away from me forever:

Lingering lips
Open
Not wanting to part
Gentleman
Estimating
Saving
Taking it slowly

Knowing that
If I let go
Sweetly
Serenely

Goodness
Only knows
Only keeps secrets like these
Denying any prying

Never completely taken
In; by the
Generousity of
His
Tenderness
