RUSTY KEY, by                    
First Line: You didn't care that that first kiss
Last Line: And not just till tomorrow!
Subject(s): Kisses


You didn't care that that first kiss
Was not for one who borrows ...
I meant it as a tacit key
To all of my tomorrows.

I found it just the other day
Outside my door quite rusted
And knew that things too simply gained
With boredom soon are crusted.

Well, now that key is hard to get --
Your lesson, Lad, was thorough ...
My kiss is for a long-term lease
And not just till tomorrow!
