"First Kiss"

@Uootem

All I know is this...
                that for a moment...
                                    with time suspended,
                everything felt so right...
                                          everything changed for me
                                                          when you first kissed me
                                  on that long ago night.
                                                    a past time remembered
                                        with nostalgia
                      the way you looked,
                                  the way you smiled
                                          the way you felt,
            the way you made me feel
                                  words and gazes
        exchanged between us
                            all was the perfect...
                                          a fulfillment
                of all my expectations
                                    your lips touching mine,
                    your body near,
                                our eyes closed to the outside world...
        i felt no sense of space or time...
                                but I told myself not to worry
                  it's just a kiss...
                              like so many others before.
                                          these strange effects
            will subside in the long term...
                                              i had no idea that what I was feeling
                        was my heart being captured
                                                        for all time.
now I sit here
      with pen in hand
                    the taste of your lips I still miss
                                        i miss the way I felt when I fell in love
                            so suddenly
                                        and so permanently
                now it's only pain caused by separation...
                                  emptiness
                    the confusion is back once more...
        it was just a kiss
                          but it meant so much more to me...
                                                        what did it mean to you?
