The Last Kiss

For my first love.

It was not good enough for me
or sweet enough
or long enough

I can't remember
I can't
remember

This is not how a love
that burned so fierce
and bright
should die.

The last good bye
should come with a warning
so you can hold on tighter
and embrace longer.

So you could take
the time to
imprint
that moment

the sounds
the smells
the tastes
imprint that forever
on my mind

forever on my mind.

If I had known
If I had known
If I had known

I would have kissed you
differently.

I would have given you a kiss
that held in it's soft lingering

everything that is in my heart.
