Mint Gum

Be bold, chap

By Ryan BurkeyPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Late hour

Dark room

New date

In this kiss lies fate

Mint gum

Lips on edge

Hand on her hip or on her face?

Eyes open or shut?

Man, let’s just get this over with!

But wait…

Don’t rush

Don’t fret

Stay calm

Lean in

And give it your best

No plan

No fear

Just play it by ear

Save this snap in time

Hide it away

In a safe jar, lock and key

You can’t now know

To what this kiss may lead
