The Here and Now

the kiss thats new gives a whole different view
to the life and destiny of what you believed to be you
to say hello a kiss is so mello
to say good bye this kiss says dont be shy
i'll be with you by and by
this kiss is my wittness and my reason why
i trust in you so don't be  shy
this kiss will someday be missed
by moments, hours, days and perhaps always
lost love is nothing new says i
but this kiss is such a worldly prize
nothing else matters but this kiss and i
so i let myself go, i cant say i dont know why
but in this fleshly body is a part of me that cries
for a being with breath and two lovely eyes
for someone to risk heart, happiness and pride
for this i live and for this i'll die
