A woman in mid life, recalled a kiss
from long time ago
when she was young and unaware
but from which she turned away.

Life took over then
The degrees, jobs, working hours
Independent and content she was
Yet missing something too.

Years passed
Dates came and went
She followed her restlessness, went with the change
Again and again, listened to her inner voice

Quietly one day, he slipped in
A conversation, a whirlwind
Timing was right

And the kiss…. as she remembered.
