Poem: Just One Kiss

Inspired by the picture "Just One Kiss" found on deviantart.com (Severus Snape and Lily fanart from HP) and "Peter" from the Finding Neverland soundtrack.

He asked her once
for just one kiss
she was disinclined
to acquiesce.

Though he remained
loyal for life,
she became
another's wife.

When danger called
He flew to her aid
although too late
and found her - dead.

He pressed his lips
upon hers, cold
in his grief
at last, was bold.

The chance for love -
a single kiss,
his tears were warm
upon her face.

Too late now
for her to feel,
he held her tightly
even still.

His love still burns
true and strong
and all his life,
however long -

In his dreams,
she says yes
when he asks
for just one kiss.
