Analysis of A life once more.
A kiss.
A hug.
An outburst of love.
Missed.
Yet snug.
An offer from above.
A stare.
A meeting.
A tide of sweet doves.
A simple hand.
A skin as silk.
A musky smell.
The taste of shared milk.
A dream.
Afraid.
A love newly made.
A son.
An aire.
A love not to fade.
A strength.
A thread.
A network of good days.
Alone.
An age.
Able to surmise always.
