Scent of a Kiss

Kiss me, O, kiss me 
Before I am gone, 
Gone to a place, where I can’t 
Make a sudden u-turn, neither- 
Where kiss has place to stay

Kiss me, O, kiss me 
Morning, afternoon, day, night 
Or, whenever it pleases you 
I won’t mind, whether it’s a-
French kiss or a kiss of no name

I will cherish it, dearly 
Just don’t promise it tomorrow, 
For I only hold this breath
Awhile, nor in your hand lies- 
The remote control of life

Ah, better by far 
You should kiss me now 
Than that you live in regret 
And die, without-
Knowing what my rugged lips scent
