And yes, one single kiss can be remembered for forever.<br /><br />Secondly, a sonnet? That is a form that has eluded me for years. I've tried them a couple of times and they seem forced. Stiff. Yours, on the other hand, seems effortless. Please tell me you worked for seven hours straight, had to call in sick to work so you could work out the lines, that you wasted a ream of paper writing and crossing out lines and rewriting lines.
