will you remember this kiss?

will you remember this kiss?
when time and the towering shadows
reach across the courtyard
you swore would never come between us
and snatch away memory
like a thief, caring not your loss,
or that it was one of a kind, and kind
of you to allow me to share it with you.
we value what we understand, and worship
the mysteries of a single breath
shared between lovers, even at a distance.
