And I planted my kisses in the middle of her cheeks.
I placed my kiss upon her cheeks' center
And I continued my kissing in that fashion.
And drew my kiss along that line.

So she said, “Why kiss the middle of my cheek?”
She asked, “Why kiss mid-cheek?”
So I told her, “Indeed, sweetness is in the middle.”
I said, “Sweetness is found inside.”
