to kiss to say that you're the one
that still can make my heart go flutter,
go flutter still, still flutter now.
The little kisses that said all is right
the loving kisses on a summer's night
and how she'd laugh over butterfly kisses
that swept across her cheek and brow.
But the kiss that nearly broke my heart
was the kiss she said she gave me,
that she gave while I was sleeping,
the kiss she said she gave me
on my lips while I was sleeping,
after granting one last kiss that day
she took her rings and sacred things,
the kiss that nearly broke my heart
was the kiss no end, the kiss no start,
the kiss she said she gave me
on the day she went away.
