“there have been morningsso quiet and tenderlike a poem, on Thursday's lipsthat I wonderedif I'd been kissed at all...”

Meaning

This reads as a delicate account of emotional doubt, where tenderness is so slight it almost disappears. It can be taken to mean that affection felt indirect or uncertain may leave a person unsure it happened at all, even while it lingers in mood and memory. It lands in a relationship marked by distance, where softness arrives without clear proof.
