Dear March—Come in—
How glad I am—
I hoped for you before—
Put down your Hat—
You must have walked—
How out of Breath you are—
Dear March, how are you, and the Rest—
Did you leave Nature well—
Oh March, Come right upstairs with me—
I have so much to tell—

I got your Letter, and the Birds—
The Maples never knew that you were coming—
I declare - how Red their Faces grew—
But March, forgive me—
And all those Hills you left for me to Hue—
There was no Purple suitable—
You took it all with you—

Who knocks? That April—
Lock the Door—
I will not be pursued—
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied—
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come

That blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame—

Emily Dickinson
1830 –1886

It’s never just the kiss. It’s how you use it.
1. Slow it down on purpose
Don’t rush. Kiss him like you’re in no hurry to get anywhere. That pause? It wrecks his focus.
2. Breathe against his mouth before you kiss again
That tiny space. Your lips close, but not touching. Anticipation hits harder than pressure.
3. Pull back first
Just slightly. Let him chase your lips. Men get addicted to what they have to lean into.
4. Change rhythm mid-kiss
Soft to firm. Gentle to hungry. Unpredictability keeps his body guessing and his mind hooked.
5. Touch his face like you’re memorizing it
Thumb on his jaw. Fingers at the back of his neck. Eye contact if you can. That’s when it turns emotional.
A kiss like this doesn’t end when your lips separate.
It stays with him.
