In Ralph Fletcher’s “The Last Kiss,” the author and his parents become emotionally estranged as the age grows. They used to kiss every night, but as the main character grew up and his father stopped kissing him, they became distant. The author feels sad and misses the intimacy he once had. He feels lost and confused When he realizes their once close relationship has changed. My poems show the authors longing for the intimacy and love they once had, and feeling very sad when the author starts to distance themselves. It also shows that growing up can be tough and bring different emotions when relationships change.
