Half-Remembered Kiss

I remember

(Was it a dream?)

I went to say goodbye and
She kissed me

Kissed me

There was no shock
I remember

Only her lips and the truth
of how easily our
tongues slipped
tasted
played

how un-awkward it was
despite the foot difference in height
(despite) the unexpectedness of the kiss

How simple and necessary
It was like breathing

I remember (or was it a dream)
I went to say goodbye and
She kissed me

Or did I kiss her?
