Kiss Me Hard Before You Go
You've woken a memory, a searing desire,
Ensnared my senses, set my whole world on fire.
You still make me nervous, turn my insides to stone,
My bastion breached, my resistance overthrown.
A decade reverse we were in a different world,
But a kiss from you and my toes would curl,
I can not say what happened back then,
Except how happy I am that you're back again.
After all these years, after everything's changed,
I think to way back and I still feel the same,
Like we could conquer any mountain, ride any wave,
Just lift a finger and I'll be your slave.
Something good has begun and you're going on a jaunt,
I'll have to put on my brave face, hide that I'm gaunt.
While you're away, time can only pass slow,
So do me a favour, kiss me hard before you go.
