One Last Kiss
one last kiss, one final glass of wine
put on our favorite music and we'll dance one last time
one last wish granted 'tween the boundaries of you and me
I worked way too hard for what I wanted us to be
a perfect day ends as the sun is sinkin' low
evening comes real gentle,like a kiss upon a brow
it all slips away, it came and went so fast
I wake from this dream that wasn't built to last
on the table by my bedside, a memory book of me and you
the pages loose from longing and all that came unglued
the final chapter written I close it one more time
pages filled with tears and a stain of sweet red wine
that cold day from long ago sealing what we started
pieces strewn from east to west but you stay in my heart
thunder crashed and lightning flashed in a desert sky
monsoon rain won't wash away what I hold deep inside
