Although it was just a kiss
And not love
She found within it
A tiny grain of his soul
Delivered so softly
In one gentle touch
Shy hearts opening
For one tiny instant
No reason at all
For this kiss to exist
Just him offering
A sweet moment
Without expectation
And her accepting
Eyes closed
They touched without fear
They touched without regret
Allowing life to be
What it is
In the moment
The culmination of their lives
Manifesting as a kiss
A tiny taste of the universe
Life breathing quietly
On the lips of another
Although it was just a kiss
And not love
She found within it
A fond memory to be held
In the silent moments
When she feels alone.
