THE GOOD-BYE KISS

So many years before, I never thought of this

That we would meet again, and that wasn't our Good-bye kiss.

I stared so many times, at faces on the beach,

hoping that a glimpse of you, wouldn't be out of reach.

Sometimes at night I would look up, at the stars so bright

and wonder if I could think of you, and did I have the right.

They told me that I would move along, that this was what is best

And for a time I believed this true, and I would pass their test.

So life went on, and there I was, living life so strong,

But things were never right with me,

there was always something wrong.

There was this hole deep down inside, I never let me feel

And then one day the hole opened up, and then it felt so real.

Nothing would prepare me, there was nothing to compare,

the hole was big, the pain was harsh, and the grief was hard to bear.

When I searched and found you, I thought the pain would go

But here it was much deeper, than anyone would know.

You had the life they told me, and the one I knew you would,

The one that I didn't give to you, although I knew I could.

So here I am once again, the hole is so very deep,

Although it hurts and its harsh, I know the pain I'll keep.

Now when I look up at night, and see the stars above,

I'll never have to worry if I'm allowed to feel your love.

And when I'm sitting and staring, at faces on the beach,

I know I can think of you, and you're never out of reach.

There are others in our lives, whose love we hold so dear,

Having them to guide us, releases so much fear.

Now, when I think about the past, I'll always think of this,

Next time I say Good-bye, its not our final kiss.
