Kisses I Have Known

The first ones, the last ones 
And all those in between  
The elementary pecks 
Before I learned the language 
In time for sweet sixteen 
The ones in their father's station wagon 
The practice ones on mirrors 
When I was a little girl 
The ones when the snowflakes  
Circled overhead and swirled 
The ones during intermission  
When we’d play tonsil hockey 
The ones that were slobbered  
The ones I witnessed  
In the darkened Cineplex
The ones that were stolen  
The ones that led to sex 
The ones at the stoplight 
And when we said our vows 
The ones upon my pillow 
Before you were by my side  
The one I'm thinking of right now
