Kiss Goodbye

Give me a kiss before you go
Just one kiss to let me know
That what I’ve felt is not untrue
That love is there for us to pursue.

I’ve felt my heartbeat once again
You’ve touched my life
Brought me back within
The world I’ve craved that soon will end.

The hollowed feel of life without
Your gentle touch, your wit, your pout.
The way you call me just to see
What I think of simple things


To wake you in the early morn
To tell you that it’s time to go
But knowing when the evening comes
You’ll be there once again

These memories I’ll hold for you
These memories we shared
May seem so tiny for others to
But love like this is rare

We’ve talked until the daylight come
Caressed the night, all that remains
Is the thought that life must still go on
And I will still want you

So give me a kiss before you go
The kind of kiss to let me know
That everything we share, we feel
Is more than just a dream.

This is such a sweet way to bid farewell to a loved one.

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

You got my kiss! I might even stay long enough to give you a couple or three thousand. Is'nt it funny how you can't seem to wear them out (kisses) they're just as good the last time as the first.

Great poem I really liked it!

Great piece Rich, one kiss can tell more than
a thousand words ever could....the ones that
shake your knees and melt your heart....

~Good-byes are always hard...You made that very clear with the emotion you displayed in this poem..Did you get the kiss?~

Blessed Be,
Beth

Thanks

Great poem

The last kiss goodbye is probably harder than the goodbye itself....  You want it to go one forever but know that it can't at all. And it's so hard to pull away.

I'm sorry to hear you had to say goodbye to a love, I hope that love finds you again soon....  And those first kisses are something to look forward to.

excellent writing

SOOOO sad... Soooo sorry. I do feel for you. Do you still see her? How are things besides this?
At least you got your kiss goodbye.. Wish it was a hello kiss for your sake though..

Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go.

Sweet and sorrowful.  That last kiss can really be a killer.  Great writing.

Beautiful poetry and a sad scenario...and after the desire for that last kiss must come the realization and acceptance that perhaps the last kiss has already been given...

I am very grateful for the response of this poem from each and everyone of you for this is the one that expresses what I am going through right now and your support is greatly appreciated.
By the way good bye is in 2 weeks.
Life is short enjoy what time you have with the one's you most love!
Love can come and go sometimes and we are at it's mercy.

I was trying to to reply to this the other night when the site crashed ...
I'll try again  
beautiful poem to say goodbye with...
well expressed emotions.
this is always the hardest lesson of our hearts
take care

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
