Their lips touched in a moment of bliss,
sealed in an unexpected kiss
that vibrated like a note from a saxophone.
Hours later, all alone,
jazz playing on the radio,
she realised that she had fallen,
and that the kiss would never be forgotten.

Indeed… even if it is not a beginning the kiss will still be remembered (but I hope it will be that glorius beginning)
