dont kiss me.

Don’t kiss me during the fireworks
Kiss me  a f t e r
and give everyone else something to look at
once  c h a o s  has passed

Don’t kiss me
when you don’t know what else to say
Kiss me
when that’s all that  n e e d s  to be said

Don’t kiss me at all
at the  r i g h t  times

Kiss me mid sentence
because my lips were moving
and you were  j e a l o u s  of the air
because they weren’t moving on yours

Don’t read up on old fairy tales
I don’t want a fairy tale

I want  r e a l  and in the moment

So kiss me
when you’re up in flames
and about to  b u r s t

Kiss me
when the  t e a r s
are doing all the work

Kiss me  h a r d  and kiss me good.
