If I Knew

If I knew it was the last time.
I would have kissed your cigarette lips 
and curled your ringlets on my fingers 
If I knew it was the last time.
I would have brushed your skin against mine 
and kept the key for your scent 
If I knew it was the last time.
I would have wrapped around so tightly 
and looked into your soul 
I would have told you that your the love of my life 
and you make me feel whole.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
