Kisses

I've kissed your lips a thousand times
And each has a different taste
I've tasted love, joy and happiness
Not a single kiss to waste

Your kisses told me when you were sad
Or when you were feeling ashamed
They even told me when you were mad
And if I was the one you blamed

Your kiss could say I missed you so
Whenever you were feeling down
My lips could tell when you're smiling
Or when you were wearing a frown

I've even kissed all your tears away
Each time a loved one had died
I tasted the salt that fell from your lips
To comfort the pain that you cried

But this time this kiss is different
And I finally understand why
You've come to kiss me one last time
For this is the kiss of goodbye
