Not a peck

Or lips intertwining without emotion

It’s not obligatory

Or just a way to say I’m sorry

Don’t do it as your running out the door

Or to impress someone

Not to say thank you

Or “you’re my best friend”

I want the real one

The passion behind the action

Push me up against the wall

And cup my face in your hands

I want to know that you’re happy to see me

That you’ve been waiting to do that all day

Kiss me with the full force of your love

Until my knees are weak, and I melt into your arms
