One Loving Kiss

Searching the internet, looking for your name, If I could just replay our last five minutes I’d tell you I was scared but I did love you. In-spite of all my faults, I know you loved me. You’d fly across the ocean to visit me and patiently wait to spend time together, Our trans-Atlantic romance was exciting but was it enough to make a life together. You asked me to marry you and fly away to Germany where you’d make me a home. Afraid to hurt you, I’m sorry I never told you I had unexpectedly met my true soul mate. I drove you to the airport, with one loving kiss You left thinking there may be a chance for us. I never replied, sorry - the kiss was goodbye. Written October 1, 2012 For Michael J.
