Before I Slip

Before I slip into unconsciousness I
feel your warm and gentle kiss
your kiss
a farewell gift before the bliss
the bliss
of what comes next 
I'll miss
your warm and gentle kiss
your kiss
as I slip into unconsciousness

Danielle, Beautifully written Rhyme. This is just the way I'd long to slip away, in the arms, final kiss of the one I love. You really pull at hour heart strings with this one. Sending good thoughts your way hoping you're doing well. Take care, Love Light Truth Patty
