Wishing We Could Have Stayed Poem by Keli Mims

I close my eyes to see it all again,
Standing in a place we’ve never been.
You move closer as I put my hands on your face,
We kiss as your arms tighten around my waist.
You're the only thing that's on my mind,
And it seems our kiss has stopped time.
Like nothing else was going on around you and me,
Like there was nowhere else for us to be.
It seemed like there was nothing else in this world,
Besides us, a young boy, and an immature girl.
Kissing, seeming to not have a single care,
I reach up my hand to play in your hair.
I pull my mouth away and stand there in a hug,
Nothing on my mind, on a high, like your my drug.
I smiled at feeling your arms around me,
And feeling you move as you slowly breathe.
My eyes over your shoulder to quickly check,
And then I brush my lips against your neck.
All I could think about was being with you,
And all I could hope was you felt it too.

It was hot outside and we were sorta sweaty,
But it didn't matter not to you, not to me.
Pop rocks crackle and pop as we kiss,
I can't help but to grin at this.
Our tongues pass the candy back and forth,
Who cares if we get caught? This has so much worth.
The popping sounds stops but we don't,
Even when the kissing stops, the feelings won't.
I pullback one more time my face on your shoulder,
And time never seemed to get any older.
Minutes passed with us just standing there,
Just holding each other time stood still.
I could only focus on how you'd breathe,
And each second I'd pray you'd stay with me.
After minutes of feeling your chest move against mine,
Our lips meet and kiss one more time.
Shorter than others but meant the same,
This kisses and feelings are etched in my brain.
My hands move to your arms, yours to my hips,
Standing there breathing, it's hard to resist.

Heads pressed together I look in your eyes,
I get shy and filled with butterflies.
Smiling I loved being so close,
I pull back and softly kiss your nose.
I can't seem to find words as you kiss mine,
And I decide to give us a little more time.
Finally words met my quiet lips,
'We should go, ' I said with another kiss.
I didn't want to say it but we had to leave,
When all I wanted to do was stay and feel you breathe.
